Pochettino has been linked with United on numerous occasions.
Paul Robinson has told BeIN Sports that he feels Mauricio Pochettino is better off at Tottenham Hotspur than Manchester United, despite the “huge outlay” spent on Spurs’ new stadium.
The Independent claim that Spurs have overspent on the stadium by £237million – taking the overall cost to a whopping £637million. It is now expected to host it’s first match in February.
The huge figure has seen Spurs fail to bring in any new players since January, with Pochettino failing to add to his squad in the summer. It remains to be seen whether Spurs will be active in the upcoming January window.
Former Spurs goalkeeper Robinson said that Pochettino will struggle to bring in new players because of the stadium, but still thinks the Argentine boss is better off in north London than at Old Trafford.
“Tottenham did not spend in the summer,” Robinson said. “Yes his team is strong enough, yes his squad is strong enough, but every manager adds now and then. Tottenham have created a huge deficit with the new stadium – it’s a huge outlay.
“He is better off at Tottenham than Manchester United because it is what he has done at Spurs. It’s his project. He inherited a decent team, he’s now got a very strong squad that competes in the top four and the Champions League.
“I can’t see the attraction of changing from Tottenham to Manchester United, given the current situation.”
Pochettino has been linked with the likes of United and Real Madrid on numerous occasions over the past few months, with Real sacking Julien Lopetegui and Jose Mourinho’s future in doubt.
Spurs, meanwhile, beat Chelsea 3-1 at Wembley on Saturday and have leapfrogged Maurizio Sarri’s side into third place thanks to goals from Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min.
