Pochettino 'Wants Man Utd Job' But Report Details the Huge Cost to Buy Him Out of Spurs Contract

Mauricio Pochettino wants to be considered for the Manchester United managerial position, but it will take a huge pay-off for the Red Devils to prise him away from Tottenham.

Jose Mourinho was sacked on Tuesday after a poor run of results and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has taken the job on an interim basis until the end of the season before a permanent appointment is made in the summer.

The Times reports that Pochettino is keen on the job, and United are understood to be preparing an offer for the Argentine and his coaching team of Jesús Pérez, Toni Jiménez and Miguel D’Agostino.
