Tottenham fans have taken to Twitter to react after Mauricio Pochettino poured cold water on talk of him joining Manchester United.
What’s the story?
Firstly, you might be wondering why this concerns Tottenham fans.
Well, the Spurs supporters still hold Pochettino close to their hearts, after he led them to their first Champions League final.
The majority of fans adore the Argentine, and feel Daniel Levy made a woeful call when sacking him in 2019.
When asked about the prospect of replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Pochettino said: “My contract with Paris is until June 2023. I’m very happy at PSG, that’s a fact. I am happy in Paris, I want to make it clear.”
The Tottenham fans loved these comments, as they presumably couldn’t bear to see the 49-year-old manage another Premier League club.
According to the BBC, Pochettino doesn’t like the setup at the Parc des Princes, in which he has little control over things.
Mauricio Pochettino could still upset Tottenham fans
In our view, Tottenham supporters shouldn’t read too deeply into Pochettino’s comments.
For example, Steven Gerrard also said he was very happy at Rangers, just days before signing a contract with Aston Villa.
In truth, Pochettino was never going to sit before the media and do anything but quash the rumours, out of respect for Paris Saint-Germain.
Few managers would stir the pot during a press conference, and for all we know, talks could be happening behind the scenes despite his comments.
Keep an eye on this saga. The BBC believe Pochettino is open to replacing Solskjaer if an offer arrives, so it’s not over yet.
For now, let’s see how the Tottenham fans reacted to Pochettino playing down talk of him moving to Old Trafford…
