Jamie Carragher says he would take the managerial role at Manchester United if he was Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino has been strongly linked with a move to Manchester United after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked following the Red Devils’ embarrassing 4-1 defeat to Watford.

Carragher believes it would be sensible career move for Pochettino, while Thierry Henry claims the former Spurs boss is unable to handle Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar at PSG.

Speaking after PSG’s 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in their Champions League clash on Wednesday night, Carragher told CBS Sports: ‘Pochettino has got to get out of that club.

‘If he’s got the chance to go to Manchester United… I’d be gone tomorrow.

‘I honestly would and it’s because of those three stars (Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar).’

Former Arsenal legend Henry added to Carragher’s comments – criticising Messi, Mbappe and Neymar for their lacklustre performance on Wednesday.

He said PSG have no hope of getting their hands on the European silverware if their Ligue 1 stars continue to neglect their defensive responsibilities.

Henry said: ‘If you want to win the Champions League, you cannot defend with seven players.

‘It is impossible, I don’t care who you are. The full backs are exposed, so it’s virtually a three vs one, three vs two on the pitch.

‘Team that win titles – and the Champions League even more so – have their front-three facing the ball.

‘That way the full backs will feel more comfortable with what’s going on behind them.

‘But right now they’re too exposed. Teams in France cannot expose them, but Man City can.

Henry continued on to say: ‘Pochettino is not allowed to be Pochettino at times with that team.

‘How do you take (Messi, Mbappe or Neymar) off? So he put Angel Di Maria in midfield – but he was exposed and not helping.’
