It is not the first time Pochettino has been linked with the Old Trafford post as it was almost a regular occurrence during his time at Tottenham.

“I miss the football scene in England. I love the country, its culture, the football culture,” he said.

“For anyone with a competitive spirit who wants to measure themselves against others and test their limits, it's the ideal place. Here, you have to give your best constantly.”

While Pochettino misses English football, his commitments to the USMNT could prove a stumbling block if Man United do end up making an approach for the 54-year-old.

After guiding USA to a respectable round of 16 finish at the 2026 World Cup, Pochettino signed a new contract in August to stay on with the national team and his deal runs through until the 2030 World Cup.
