Tottenham Hotspur are doing better than Manchester United in the Premier League at the moment.
Former Liverpool and England international defender Carragher has suggested that Pochettino must be on the radar of United should the Red Devils fail to finish in the top four of the Premier League this season.
Jose Mourinho is in charge of United at the moment, but the Red Devils are in danger of missing out on the top four.
United are eighth in the Premier League table at the moment with 20 points from 12 matches, as many as seven points behind Tottenham, who are currently fourth in the standings and occupy the final Champions League spot.
Carragher wrote in The Telegraph: “If Manchester United do not finish in the top four this season there is every chance Jose Mourinho’s tenure will end.
“If so, Pochettino must be top of the wanted list. Many believe he was admired by those with influence at Old Trafford before Mourinho was appointed in 2016.”
Tottenham Hotspur success
Pochettino has been the key figure in Tottenham establishing themselves among the Premier League’s elite in recent seasons.
Under the Argentine boss, Spurs have consistently challenged for the Premier League title over the past three or so seasons.
One should not be surprised if United do look at Pochettino next summer, but the Argentine does seem to be very committed to Spurs.
