Jan Vertonghen believes former boss Mauricio Pochettino will be getting 'impatient' having been out of work for 12 months.
The former Tottenham boss has remained out of management since he was replaced in north London by Jose Mourinho.
During his time out of management, Pochettino has been heavily linked to Real Madrid and Manchester United and for Vertonghen, he feels sticking in the Premier League is 'probably the best thing he can do'.
Although Vertonghen did not mention the Old Trafford club by name, his comments about staying in England - with Pochettino targeting a 'big team' - felt targeted.
