Mauricio Pochettino’s chances of succeeding Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are diminishing by the day
He is wanted by a number of top clubs around Europe, including Spurs’ bitter rivals Arsenal and Everton.
United have looked at bringing him to Old Trafford over the last few years after an impressive spell in North London.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s resurgence with the Red Devils is slowly putting an end to his chances of a Manchester move.
Stunning wins over Spurs and Manchester City away have helped show the project the Norwegian is trying to create.
It is believed the Old Trafford board have been delighted with the way the side have been playing recently.
They see a long-term strategy under Solksjaer could be starting to finally come together after a tricky start to the season.
SunSport also understands there has been no meetings between the manager and the board despite rumours there had been.
The United hierarchy want to give him as much time as possible to prove he can get the club back to the top of the Premier League.
A finish in the Champions League spots is seen as a minimum requirement this campaign after a year in the Europa.
United lie in fifth position in the league, five points behind Frank Lampard’s Chelsea in fourth place.
It is not known whether Pochettino would be willing to wait and see if Solskjaer fails at United or take on a new project before.
