The former Tottenham boss believes the current incumbent could still end up at Old Trafford if Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fails to impress in the long term
Mauricio Pochettino is just one game away from guiding Tottenham to the club’s first ever Champions League title, but Tim Sherwood believes that the Argentine is still not guaranteed to stay at Spurs.
Sherwood told Bwin : “There was a lot of speculation that Pochettino might leave Tottenham for a Manchester United or Real Madrid so the fans are probably relieved to see Solskjaer and Zidane in those seats now.
“Tottenham will never be able to breathe easy with Pochettino because he will continue to be a target for big clubs who are capable of taking him away.
“Manchester United decided to go down the Solskjaer route but that’s not a guarantee Pochettino won’t be in their dugout in the near future.
“If Manchester United decide they’ve made a mistake, Tottenham are back to square one sweating over Pochettino’s future.
“That’s the stranglehold that a Manchester United can have on you as one of the biggest clubs in the world.
“If they identify someone as their new manager, they will get who they want.”
While Pochettino has yet to win a trophy at Tottenham, Sherwood still believes Pochettino has done well in London, adding: “I think Pochettino has done a good job at Tottenham, there can’t be a doubt about that.
“The Premier League is the bread and butter year in, year out but he knows the pressure is mounting to pick up silverware and get that monkey off his back.
“Pochettino will be disappointed that he hasn’t yet been able to win a trophy with the squad of players he has at Tottenham.
“It’s difficult because he is competing against teams with far greater resources.”

Ole is the right coach so no need to be rushing for new coach his work just began and I think he has the qualities to transform the team .

i don't think you have any idea about the Manchester United board and Ed Woodward. Poch will fail just like LVG and Jose because the board never backed them. Poch is at the right club now.

Ole hasn't got a clear chance to manage Man Utd jst yet. as a matter of fact Ole has equally done a good job so far with the calibre of players he inherited n will remain United's manager 4 at least 2 seasons b4 judgements can be made on whether he would be replaced or not. Poche needs move to a club where he will be back financially to achieve his aim. Spurs dont deserve him.

Why Pochettino . What has he done to be MANU coach. Oh week he reach UCL final so what ? What about Rapha Benitez he won all this UCL, UFa , la Liga why not him? This is to say everybody has to cool down and give the chance to ur new coach before u judge him. The club rushes to sign the choses one, oh Vangal experience or José the special one what did u earn? Just cool down bcz when ever we rushed we crushed . This Ole time give him a chance and let him bring his young team and give him time
