With Ole Gunnar Solskjaer enduring an up and down season at Old Trafford, United fans are desperate for Ed Woodward to move for the now available boss.
Fans also reckon they could steal a move for England skipper Harry Kane, who has flourished under the manager in the last five-and-a-half years.
Mark Goldbridge said: “Poch sacked! If he’s free then he’s got to be a serious contender for United if Ole slips up again?”
United Xtra wrote: “Poch took Spurs to a Champions League final on a shoestring budget. Whoever gets him next will be very lucky. Top manager!”
Aidan said: “If United don’t sack Ole and get Poch rn, we will regret it for the next 10 years.”
While Eli said he was “praying” for the club to lose their next match.
“I’m praying seriously that we lose our game this weekend against Sheffield United,” he wrote, “So that Ole can be sacked immediately, then we can go in for Poch.”
A statement for Spurs chairman Daniel Levy read: “We were extremely reluctant to make this change and it is not a decision the Board has taken lightly, nor in haste.
“Regrettably domestic results at the end of last season and beginning of this season have been extremely disappointing.
“It falls to the Board to make the difficult decisions – this one made more so given the many memorable moments we have had with Mauricio and his coaching staff – but we do so in the club’s best interests.
“Mauricio and his coaching staff will always be part of our history. I have the utmost admiration for the manner in which he dealt with the difficult times away from a home ground whilst we built the new stadium and for the warmth and positivity he brought to us.
“I should like to thank him and his coaching staff for all they have contributed. They will always be welcome here.
“We have a talented squad. We need to re-energise and look to deliver a positive season for our supporters.”
