Publication Report

The publication reports that the La Liga giants were keen to tie him down in case they need a replacement for Zidane.

Real are currently second in La Liga level on points with leaders Barcelona but Zidane's future will be influenced by the club's Champions League progress with Los Blancos set to face Guardiola's City in the last 16 stage.

While Pochettino is believed to have had his eyes on the Madrid job for some time he is also keen to manage in the Premier League again although the Sun says Man Utd and City is the only clubs he would be interested in.

The report says Pochettino would be excited by the challenge of trying to return United to the top with significantly more funds than he had at his disposal at Tottenham.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has overseen a run of four wins in five games and has guided Manchester United back up to sixth in the Premier League after what was the club's worst start to a season for more than 30 years.

But Manchester United is long-time admirers of Pochettino and Solskjaer will find himself under pressure again if the club's current upsurge is not maintained.

Meanwhile, there has been assumption Guardiola might leave City this summer amid the club's faltering title challenge and the coming up departure of No2 Mikel Arteta to become Arsenal's next manager.
