'Pochettino has no need to leave Tottenham' - Man Utd no longer a step up, says Sheringham

The former Spurs striker admits he left for Old Trafford due to an apparent lack of ambition, but he does not see that as an issue in north London now

Mauricio Pochettino “has no reason to leave” Tottenham, says Teddy Sheringham, with there no longer a lack of ambition in north London which makes Manchester United an intriguing alternative.

The former Spurs striker made his own switch between two Premier League rivals in his playing days, going on to form part of the Red Devils’ 1999 Treble-winning squad.

A similar move is now being mooted for a highly-rated coach, with United yet to make a decision on who will be appointed as the permanent successor to Jose Mourinho.
