Nicky Butt insists Mauricio Pochettino is the right man to takeover at Manchester United.

Erik ten Hag and Pochettino are the two leading candidates to become United's next manager.

Ajax coach ten Hag is reportedly the frontrunner, but United legend Butt would like to see Pochettino take charge.

He told FourFourTwo: "They can't keep having interim managers or learners in very powerful positions. They need people who've been there, seen it and done it.

"I'd go all-out to get Mauricio Pochettino as manager. He's proven in the Premier League, he's young and enthusiastic, his style of play would suit United and his backroom staff seem switched on.

"I met him a couple of times at Spurs' training ground and had lunch. You'd want to play for him."
