Mauricio Pochettino Responds To Manchester United Speculation by Adenaph(m): 8:17pm On Nov 23, 2021
Mauricio Pochettino has poured cold water on suggestions he could make an immediate move to Manchester United by insisting he’s ‘happy’ at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentine is in Manchester as his Paris Saint-Germain side take on Manchester City at the Etihad tomorrow.

United have made Pochettino their first choice to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who was sacked on Sunday less than 24 hours after a dismal 4-1 defeat to Watford.

Reports in the last 24 hours have suggested Pochettino would be willing to leave the French side midway through the campaign in order to take charge at Old Trafford, which would remove the need for United to appoint an interim boss.

But Pochettino has dampened expectations that any move could be imminent by insisting he’s happy with the Ligue 1 giants.

‘I’m happy in Paris,’ said Pochettino.
‘I know the city well both as a player and a coach, I have always lived this type of situation.

‘Things happen and it’s not my responsibility. What I’m going to say if you ask me is that I’m happy in Paris.’

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Pochettino went further to stress his happiness in Paris and said he accepts rumours are part of the job.

‘I am focused. I am very focused in football,’ said Pochettino.

‘I am not a kid, I am not a child. I spend my whole life playing football and now for more than 12 years being a coach. We are in a business where the rumours are there.

‘I completely understand what is going on, sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way and this type of thing cannot distract. Rumours are there and we need to live with that.

‘That is the football that we are living. We are so focused. We are giving 100% to get our best from the club and the players to perform in the best way. I am so happy at Paris Saint-Germain.

Just saying his happy0 in Paris but not outrightly rejecting the rumours, so there's a possibility next summer.
