Unai Emery Questions Why Mauricio Pochettino Would Want Manchester United Job

Arsenal manager Unai Emery has said he believes Mauricio Pochettino is "very happy" at Tottenham Hotspur and questioned why the Argentinian would take the vacant job at Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho was sacked as Red Devils boss on Tuesday, and Pochettino has been widely touted as a potential successor.

However, Emery hinted ahead of Wednesday's north London derby in the Carabao Cup that Pochettino should stay put at Spurs, per Ian Baker of The Independent:

"I think he's very happy at Tottenham. I think he's coaching a very big team with very big players and now they are in the Champions League they are also in a better position in the Premier League than Manchester United.
