Former Premier League manager Tim Sherwood has sensationally tipped Harry Kane to reunite with Mauricio Pochettino at Manchester United.
Imminent appointment
Pochettino is reportedly set to take charge of United, with United head coach Michael Carrick losing his job as a result of United’s poor start to the new season.
United have endured an extremely poor start to the season and currently sit in 18th place in the Premier League table after 10 games. The Red Devils have managed just 10 points in this period, having won one game against Ipswich Town in August.
Responsibility for the dreadful form has reportedly been placed on Carrick, who will therefore be succeeded by Pochettino.

United have an agreement in place with Pochettino’s representatives and have now reached out to the USMNT to begin the formal process of paying compensation for him and his coaching staff.
Reacting to Pochettino’s imminent United appointment, Kane explained that the 20-time English champions are getting a fantastic manager.
It was under Pochettino at Tottenham Hotspur that Kane rose to superstardom, departing the Premier League as its second-highest scorer with 213 goals, trailing only Alan Shearer’s 260.
Sherwood, who also managed Kane at Tottenham Hotspur, told The Overlap that the reigning Ballon d’Or winner could reunite with Pochettino in Manchester.
Sherwood makes Kane and Pochettino claim
The 57-year-old said, “I’ll tell you who we might see back in the Premier League. Harry Kane. And I’ll tell you where we might see him, in a red shirt. If Pochettino goes to Manchester United, there’s more chance of Harry Kane in two years’ time going there.”
When it was put to Sherwood that Kane may be eyeing Shearer’s record, he answered, “When he (Kane) signed that new deal the other day, it must have been one of the happiest days of Alan Shearer’s life.”
“I texted him (Kane) straight away. I said, ‘Mate, Shearer’s delighted with that.’ He said, ‘Still time. There’s still time’ (for Kane to return).”
Kane’s continued pursuit of the record could bode well for United if they were to return for him.
