Dimitar Berbatov admits 'it's hard to blame' Manchester United if they have approached Mauricio Pochettino to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer but former Red Devils striker says the players are as much to blame

Former striker Dimitar Berbatov says 'it's hard to blame' Manchester United for considering Mauricio Pochettino to be their next manager as the pressure grows on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer is under intense pressure following back-to-back defeats by Arsenal in the Premier League and Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League and he now leads the bookmakers' sack race.

And according to the Manchester Evening News, United have contacted Pochettino's representatives. It has been reported previously that Pochettino is keen to manage United at some point and that stance is not believed to have changed.
