Harry Kane sends glowing Mauricio Pochettino message amid Man Utd links

Harry Kane has delivered a glowing assessment of Mauricio Pochettino amid growing speculation linking the former Tottenham manager with the Manchester United job.

United have reportedly checked on Pochettino’s availability as they consider replacing Michael Carrick, whose position is under serious threat following the club’s struggles in the Premier League.

Speaking to the Evening Standard⁠, Kane praised the Argentine’s influence on his development during their time together at Tottenham. “Yeah, me and Mauricio obviously have a fantastic relationship. I think, again, I mentioned him as one of the coaches that had a big impact on my career and definitely my development,” the Bayern Munich striker said.

“At that stage of my career, I needed his guidance and the way he pushed me, not just on the pitch but off the pitch as well, was really, really helpful.”

Kane also described Pochettino as a fantastic manager, highlighting his experience at some of the world’s biggest clubs. The England captain’s comments come as Pochettino, currently managing the United States national team, emerges as a leading candidate for the Old Trafford position.
