Manchester United are reportedly considering replacing Rubem Amorim with a former Tottenham Hotspur manager, who has also been linked with a return to N17 over recent weeks.

Amidst the speculation over Ange Postecoglou’s future, some outlets over recent weeks have suggested that Tottenham could turn to their former manager Mauricio Pochettino.

However, other sources have played down these rumours, with the Argentine said to have a clause in his contract with the United States national team which would make it difficult for him to leave before next year’s World Cup.

It has now been suggested that the former Tottenham Hotspur boss could receive an approach from Man Utd in the near future.

Man United plot Mauricio Pochettino plan

Fichajes have now claimed that even though Ruben Amorim only took over from Erik Ten Hag in November, the Portuguese coach is already coming under pressure.

It is revealed that his future is ‘in the balance’ at the moment, with the United hierarchy needing to see significant improvements from the side over the coming months to keep faith in him.

It is asserted that his future is ‘in the balance’ and United are already considering approaching other candidates at the end of the season.

The Red Devils reportedly want a coach who can take the club back to the elite of European football, with former Tottenham fan favourite Pochettino being one of the names on their wishlist.

Would Tottenham watch on as Mauricio Pochettino went to Man United?

Pochettino has made no secret of his desire to return to Tottenham one day and one would think that Spurs will be able to get him ahead of Man Utd if they show interest.

It seems like the Lilywhites are keeping faith in Postecoglou for the time being, but if they see United making a move for Pochettino, Levy might be tempted to hijack a deal for the Argentine.
