The Red Devils are currently scouting for a new permanent manager to take control once interim boss Ralf Rangnick leaves in the summer.

However, according to TalkSPORT’s Alan Brazil, the PSG boss would much prefer a return to Tottenham.

The 62-year-old said: “Pochettino is not going to United.

“Man United have been warned by PSG sporting director [Leonardo Araujo] that Pochettino has no intention of leaving Paris.

“Well, I tell you right now, that is not the case.

“From the horse’s mouth, Poch wants to come back to the Premier League and he wants to come back with Tottenham.

BETTING SPECIAL – GET CITY AT 25/1 OR UNITED AT 100/1

“He wants to come back to Spurs. I’m not saying it’s going to happen, but it’s what he wants.”

Tottenham sacked Pochettino in November 2019 after a poor run of results, but rumours have since circulated suggesting that Daniel Levy wants to bring him back to North London.

Despite his preference of returning to Spurs, according to Brazil he would not turn his back on the Manchester side.

He added: “I’m not saying Poch won’t go to United, because if he can’t get back to Spurs and United want him, he’d be a fool probably to say no.

“But I do know, in his heart, he wants to come back to Spurs.”

Man Utd are also linked with Ajax manager Erik ten Hag, who is reportedly learning English in order to help him land the job.

Sir Alex Fergusson has also recommended Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti for the role.
