Mauricio Pochettino has been tipped to move to a bigger club for quite some time now, but his desire to win something with Tottenham Hotspur has seen him stay put in London. That said, Tottenham's form, performances and the desire of some of their star players to leave the club seem to suggest that Pochettino's stint may be coming to an end.

Pochettino may be the safest and most reliable option for Manchester United. He has proven he is capable in the English League already, and he also took Tottenham to the Champions League final last year. And he achieved all of this without any significant investment in the squad.

At United, Pochettino can expect to be backed in the transfer market. His teams are very well organised and play good football. He has shown at Tottenham that he is ready to trust the young players and give them their chances.

Convincing him to leave Tottenham would still be a difficult task, and United may face competition from other clubs as well. Pochettino has been linked with Bayern Munich too recently.

So if United feel that Pochettino is the one to take them forward, then they would have to act fast.
