'Tell me without telling me': Manchester United fans agree over Mauricio Pochettino response

Manchester United's fans are saying the same thing after Paris Saint-Germain manager Mauricio Pochettino broke his silence on interest in the Old Trafford hot-seat.

Having touched down in Manchester with PSG ahead of their Champions League encounter with Manchester City, the Argentine was summoned for media duties this afternoon.

Manchester Evening News understand key figures in the boardroom are keen to appoint Pochettino.

It's also thought he would be open to returning to the Premier League mid-season - even though the highly-rated PSG coach was particularly coy when pressed about the ever-developing situation.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was issued his P45 on Sunday morning and Michael Carrick has taken over the position for the time being, as the search for a permanent successor continues.

Pochettino has seemingly poured cold water on that, for now - but United supporters have read between the lines to speculate what might actually come to pass.

Here are a selection of comments made about the Argentine on popular social media platform Twitter;

@AliciaMaina said: "Tell me you are jumping to ship to come to United without telling me you're jumping the ship to come to United..."

@UnitedHeath posted: "He might as well have said; 'I want to manage Manchester United'."

@SomeIrishGuyIg added: "He's gonna be our manager by full-time in the City game."

@DanUtd88 posted: "You might as well have talked, mate. Hardly popped a pin in it, has he?"

@C345Sam added: "So he's not ruling it out. My manager."
