Harry Kane believes Manchester United will gain a ‘fantastic manager’ in Mauricio Pochettino if Michael Carrick is sacked.

United are expected to dismiss Carrick during the international break following the team’s worst-ever start to a Premier League season.

Sunday’s 4-4 draw at home to Aston Villa has left United 18th in the Premier League with just one win in 10 games. Carrick’s side are also out of the Carabao Cup following a 3-2 defeat at home to Brighton in September.

United have already reached an initial agreement with Pochettino, who is the head coach of the United States national side but has a $10 million (£7.4m) buyout clause in his contract, and the expectation is that the Argentine will be in place for United’s next Premier League fixture against Liverpool on November 22.

Kane worked alongside Pochettino for five years at Spurs where they reached a League Cup and Champions League final and has endorsed the 54-year-old’s likely move to United.

When asked about Pochettino’s potential move to Old Trafford on Wednesday, Kane said: ‘Me and Mauricio obviously have a fantastic relationship.

‘I mentioned him as one of the coaches who had a big impact on my career and definitely my development. At that stage of my career I needed his guidance and the way he pushed me, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well, he was really, really helpful.

‘Obviously a fantastic coach, he’s managed the biggest clubs in the world. From my point of view, I can’t speak highly enough of him.

‘We’ll have to wait and see what happens but I know he’s a great guy but also a fantastic manager.’
