Former Watford scout and Norwegian pundit Tor-Kristian Karlsen has warned Manchester United over their push for Mauricio Pochettino.
PSG coach Pochettino is emerging as favourite to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at United after his sacking.
However, Karlsen has warned the board that Pochettino can be a demanding manager.
He told VG: "It is almost impossible to recruit a desired candidate in the middle of the season, since the best coaches are in other clubs. I think the wisest thing they could do was to have two thoughts in mind at the same time: Put in a solution until the summer, with an experienced coach, while trying to recruit a more long-term solution after the summer.
"At the same time, I think that Pochettino is a milder version of (Antonio) Conte and (Jose) Mourinho, he is a very specific type with temperament and has put his clubs under pressure. I think Manchester United will go through quite thorough rounds of research before they do anything more."
