Marcus Rashford appears to be one of the players eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mauricio Pochettino at Manchester United, as the Argentine coach has held the English forward in high regard for years.
According to a report in the “Telegraph,” the former manager of Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris Saint-Germain is on the verge of taking over at “Old Trafford” to succeed Michael Carrick, who stepped down as manager of the “Red Devils.”

This report highlights eight players who are expected to benefit significantly from Pochettino’s arrival. Among them are Bruno Fernandes, Koby Mainoo, Carlos Baleba, Amad Diallo, Patrick Dorgu, and Luke Shaw.
However, the biggest winner of this upcoming partnership appears to be Rashford, who returned to United this summer, after a year and a half on loan at Barcelona and Aston Villa.
“Pochettino has always loved Rashford”
According to the “Telegraph,” people who have worked with the Argentine coach in the past believe that the English international holds a special place in his estimation.
In fact, a source told the newspaper: “Mauricio has always loved Rashford. He’ll take him under his wing and show him the same love he showed Dele Alli at Tottenham. Beyond that, it all depends on Rashford himself.”
The article also notes that Pochettino had spoken very highly of the United forward during the 2022 World Cup.
“I’ve always liked him. I was familiar with his career, since I was in England, and I believe he’s a great soccer player. He just needs confidence and to believe in himself to reach the top level. He has the talent,” the Argentine coach said at the time.
