Tottenham source reportedly claims Levy is nervous Pochettino may still leave

Manchester United are yet to confirm Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as their new permanent manager.

According to The Mirror, Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy is still worried that Mauricio Pochettino will leave the club for Manchester United.

United sacked Jose Mourinho in December, bringing in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as an interim boss until the Red Devils could find an elite replacement for Mourinho.

Pochettino was immediately touted as a potential target, but Solskjaer’s sensational form of 14 wins in 19 games means he is now the favourite to be named United boss.

Yet with no announcement from United just yet, there’s still a lingering chance that they could target Pochettino at the end of the season.

The Mirror report that a source has told them Daniel Levy and co are still a little nervous about the situation, with an underlying unease at the club just now.

Spurs know it would be difficult to replace Pochettino, and until United confirm that Solskjaer is the new boss, Spurs just aren’t out of the woods yet.

With Pochettino leading Spurs into their new stadium, it seems unlikely that he would leave right now, but he will need some backing in the transfer market this summer.

The Tottenham squad needs some reinforcements, and if Levy is so nervous about losing his star manager, then he needs to come up with some strong summer signings – and hope that no other clubs come calling for Pochettino.
