Manchester United target Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino as possible Louis van Gaal replacement
Old Trafford chiefs have been impressed by the Argentine, who has helped Tottenham above United in the Premier League table
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino is high on Manchester United’s wanted list.
The highly-rated Argentinian impressed the United hierarchy with his calmness, dignity and coaching ability even before he joined Spurs 18 months ago.
And the way he has guided the Londoners into Premier League title contention with a minimum of fuss has only added to his reputation inside Old Trafford with Louis van Gaal’s future far from assured.
And as well as former Southampton gaffer Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain boss and former Old Trafford star Laurent Blanc has also emerged as a viable target next summer.
United will have to act fast, however, with Blanc in talks with PSG over a new contract.
The Reds have lost ground on the top four and, after being knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage, Van Gaal could still be dumped in the summer.
If LVG does not finish in a Champions League slot or win a trophy having spent £250million, fans will want him out before his deal is up in 2017.
