Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly eager to be considered for the Manchester United post next summer.

The 20-time Premier League champions are on the lookout for a new man at the helm after parting company with Jose Mourinho earlier today, less than 48 hours after losing 3-1 to bitter rivals Liverpool at Anfield.

United have already confirmed that they will appoint an interim manager to steady the ship until the end of the season, with Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer expected to be handed the temporary role.

However, The Times reports that Pochettino - who was quickly regarded as the frontrunner for Mourinho's permanent successor - wants to be considered for the job at the end of the season.

The Argentine only recently signed a new long-term contract in North London, and it is understood that it would take around £34m in compensation to prise him away from Tottenham - meaning that sacking Mourinho would have cost United more than £50m in total.

However, Pochettino reportedly considers the opportunity too good to turn down and was coy over what could happen next summer when questioned at a press conference earlier this afternoon.

Real Madrid are also thought to be interested in the 46-year-old, though, with current boss Santiago Solari also only expected to last until the end of the season.
