Sky Sports News reporter Dharmesh Sheth was unable to ask Pochettino about the ongoing links to the United job. The Spurs press conference wasn’t having any of it and while the two bickered over the topic, the Argentine coach was gleaming with an excited facial expression.
It must be difficult to contain yourself when the biggest football club in the world wants you to become their manager, though we fully expect Pochettino to respect his employers at all times. He’s never been the type to do otherwise.
