Solskjaer Responds to Speculation of Pochettino Coaching Manchester United

DBasia.news – Manchester United will play against the top-four of Premier League table, Tottenham Hotspur on the 22nd week, Sunday (13/1). Spurs aren’t the same contender as the previous one under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Spurs are in the third position of Premier League with 48 points, 10 points higher than Man United in the sixth position.

Not only performing consistently in the top-table, but Spurs also have the balance in the defensive and front line.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino makes his team as one of the best offensive clubs in Europe.

Furthermore, Tottenham didn’t sign any player last summer. So, compared to five initial contenders of Solskjaer after replacing Jose Mourinho, Tottenham would be the real deal.

The match would be more intense because Pochettino is rumored as the successor of Solskjaer whose contract would end this season. The Norway manager responded calmly.

“That speculation is there for a reason – because he has done well. But it’s not my job to rate managers, my focus is on me and my team,” Solskjaer said as cited by Guardian.

In August, Pochettino signed the contract with Tottenham until 2023. Last Monday, the Argentinian tactician hoped he could be the club manager for 20 years.

Man United won’t only focus on Pochettino, but how to defeat The Lilywhites who had three goals to David de Gea’s goal in August 2018 at Old Trafford.
