Mauricio Pochettino Teases Manchester United With Talks Of Premier League Return

Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he would love a Premier League return amidst links to Manchester United.

Plenty of news sources has claimed that the former Tottenham Hotspur boss could replace Ole Solskjaer at Old Trafford.

Pochettino lead Tottenham to the Champions League final last season while Solskjaer’s United are currently six points off the top four positions. Fans have been pretty transparent about their dissatisfaction with how the club is being run, not backing Solskjaer or the business being done in the transfer windows.

“To be honest, I would love to work in the Premier League,” Pochettino said on ‘In The Pink’ podcast. “It’s going to be difficult, I know, and for now it’s a moment to wait and we’ll see what happens.

“It’s a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready. I’m ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic.”

Pochettino added: “I was in Argentina, I was in Qatar, I was in Spain and I have Jesus [Perez, assistant manager to Pochettino at Spurs] who follows the news a little bit but I notice the rumours.

“All of the coaching staff accept that there are rumours. We deal with rumours naturally. The people need natural people, normal people and we don’t say that we are unique with that but we are not actors and we don’t do anything that we don’t believe.”

If a Premier League job does not present itself, Pochettino is open to moving elsewhere in Europe. “If we move to Europe,” the 47-year-old Argentinian said. “We are going to miss England.”
