'Announce Pochettino' - These Man United fans want the same thing after Sheffield United clash

Some Manchester United fans are saying the same thing about former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino this afternoon (Sunday).

The Red Devils were in action in the Premier League this afternoon, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men falling 2-0 behind at Bramall Lane against Sheffield United.

John Fleck opened the scoring for the Blades in the 20th minute to give the hosts a deserved lead against United, before Lys Mousset doubled the advantage for the hosts early in the second half.

United came storming back to lead 3-2 thanks to goals from Brandon Williams, Mason Greenwood and Marcus Rashford, only for Oli McBurnie to net an equaliser in the 90th minute to salvage a point for the Blades.

But some United fans are calling for a managerial change, with former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino now available.

The Argentine left Spurs on Tuesday after he was sacked by the club, following five and a half years in north London, with former United boss Jose Mourinho appointed as his replacement the next morning (Wednesday).

And with Pochettino now available, it has led to speculation over his next job, having previously been linked with United before Solskjaer was appointed on a permanent basis.

Some former Arsenal players have also called for the Gunners to sack Unai Emery, who is under increasing pressure, and replace him with Pochettino, but these United fans are urging their club to move swiftly.

Here's what some have been saying on Twitter this afternoon.
