Revealed! Mauricio Pochettino 'So Happy' At PSG And Won’t Let Man Utd 'Rumours' Distract Him

Pochettino remains United's first choice this summer, but the club are not ruling out the possibility of making an earlier move for the Argentinian.

 

It has been reported that Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of the French football club, PSG, has said he is "so happy" at Paris Saint-Germain and will not allow Manchester United's interest to distract him from his current role.

Pochettino remains United's first choice this summer, but the club are not ruling out the possibility of making an earlier move for the Argentinian.

United are aware Pochettino has major issues with PSG sporting director Leonardo, but are also wary the former Tottenham boss has flirted with the idea of moving to Old Trafford before.

Speaking in Manchester ahead of PSG's Champions League match at Manchester City, Pochettino said: "I am focused. I am very focused on football. I am not a child, I spend my whole life playing football, and now my 12th year being coach, we're in a business that the rumours are there. I understand what is going on.

"This kind of thing cannot distract. Rumours are there, we need to live with that. We are so focused, giving 100 per cent to get our best from the club and the players. I am so happy at Paris Saint-Germain, for tomorrow we are so focused to get the best results we can."

Pochettino took charge at PSG in January and pointed out his current contract runs out at the end of the 2022-23 season.

He added: "What another club are doing is not my business, I need to be focused on PSG. I'm not going to make the mistake of talking. You know everything we'll say, it was in the past when at Espanyol when I said my dream was to meet Sir Alex (Ferguson), anything I say now is going to be misunderstood and out of context. I was a PSG player. I love the club. I love the fans. We are fighting in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

"My contract is to 2023. This season and one season more. I don't say nothing different. I am very happy at PSG. That is a fact."

Meanwhile, United are continuing their search for an interim manager and have had numerous expressions of interest, with Michael Carrick in caretaker charge for the time being, and making a winning start as the 2-0 victory at Villarreal on Tuesday evening saw United qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League.
