Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain could strike a stunning swap deal in the summer that would see Cristiano Ronaldo move to Paris and Mauricio Pochettino head to Old Trafford.
The Red Devils look certain to appoint a new manager in the summer, with Ralf Rangnick not doing enough to be considered for the permanent role during his stint as interim boss so far.
Pochettino has long been a target for United and they could move for him at the end of the season, with the potential of Ronaldo going the other way.
The Mirror report that PSG are confident that Ronaldo will be open to leaving Old Trafford at the end of the season, despite signing a contract last year which runs until 2023.

It has been a frustrating time for the Portuguese superstar since his return to Manchester United, scoring 14 goals in all competitions, but with the club struggling for consistent performances or results and any silverware looking very unlikely this season.
PSG would love to bring Ronaldo to France, especially with Kylian Mbappe set to leave the club at the end of the season when his contract expires.
The Ligue 1 side may also be perfectly happy to let Pochettino go as there is interest in appointing Zinedine Zidane to replace the Argentine, unless PSG win the Champions League this season.
Ronaldo and Zidane had a very successful time together at Real Madrid and could link up again in Paris.
A Ronaldo exit could also solve an awkward situation for Pochettino arriving as manager, who would want to play a high-energy style of play, which would be unlikely to suit the 37-year-old.
The swap deal would also see Ronaldo team up with his old rival Lionel Messi and Neymar at PSG, potentially under the management of Zidane, which would be showbiz, to say the least.
