Maurico Pochettino's PSG struggles continue as Man Utd speculation intensifies

Pressure on Mauricio Pochettino intensified after his runaway PSG leaders were hammered by Monaco.

Wissam Ben Yedder scored twice either side of Kevin Volland's strike to earn the home side a much-needed win to pile more misery on Pochettino after their Champions League exit. Pochettino will stay in charge until at least the end of the season but their European collapse against Real Madrid could cost him his job.

PSG still remain on course to regain the Ligue 1 title but the manner of this latest defeat will push him closer to the exit door. Lionel Messi was missing through illness but Neymar and Kylian Mbappe also endured off days as Monaco were worthy winners.

Monaco dominated from the first whistle and Manchester United target Aurelien Tchouameni forced Gianluigi Donnarumma into a smart save. Jean Lucas somehow failed to score moments later after dancing through the PSG defence.

The visitors couldn't get a foothold in the game and the home side's dominance deservedly paid off after 25 minutes. Youssouf Fofana sent over a teasing cross from the right-hand side and Ben Yedder produced a stunning flick that beat Donnarumma at his near post.

Neymar forced Alexander Nubel into action with a curling free-kick as Pochettino's men looked for a response. But it was Monaco who continued to look more threatening, with Fofana testing Donnarumma again from distance.
