Manchester United and Tottenham both “covet” Paris Saint-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino but the Ligue One club are not interested in letting the Argentine leave the Parc des Princes, according to the Evening Standard.
The 49-year-old has been on the Red Devils’ radar for many years but supporters on Twitter have not been impressed by his spell at PSG and would prefer other candidates to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer:

Pochettino has a talent for developing young players as well as a defined style of play; both of which are very attractive qualities for United, but the fact that he is at PSG means the prospect of him moving to Old Trafford is unlikely.
There are alternatives out there, such as Ajax manager Erik ten Hag, who would fit the same mould, but the current favourites among the bookies, Antonio Conte and Zinedine Zidane, have very different managerial styles. It remains to be seen which direction the club will go if they do dispense with the services of Solskjaer in the next few weeks.
