Is Pochettino the answer for Manchester ...

THE TIMES
About this episode

Here we are again... another season another managerial change at Manchester United. The club finally announced the sacking of Carrick this morning - mid way through recording. After thanking him for his services the statement read that the club "intends to appoint a permanent successor as quickly as possible."

That man looks likely to be Mauricio Pochettino. Is the former Spurs, PSG and Chelsea manager the right man for Old Trafford? Does he have the stature, the tactics and the man management skills to turn around the failing giant?

Tom Clarke joins Gregor Robertson, Martin Samuel and Alyson Rudd to ask if Pochettino will be a success and how the situation reflects on Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Jason Wilcox and Omar Berrada.

Plus, a quick look at Thomas Frank and his imminent arrival at Crystal Palace.
