Does Pochettino dream day and night of leaving his golden prison at PSG?

• As PSG move to City on Wednesday, many British media claim Pochettino is keen to join Manchester United this season.

• At the same time, in the interviews he gave recently to L '

  Equipe

  and the

  Guardian

  , this one does not show a deep attachment to the Parisian club's project.

From one Manchester to the other. If the PSG is expected this week in the north-east of England to face City in the Champions League, it is indeed the Red Devils which is more and more question in recent hours in the news of the Parisian club. . Indeed, many sources - and not least, the

, the BBC and

particular - indicate that Mauricio Pochettino would only wait for one thing: for the

Mancun to pick up his phone to offer him the job left vacant after the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday after another rout at Watford.

@BBCSport confirms Mauricio Pochettino is ready to go to Manchester United and it's not impossible for him to go NOW.

He is not completely satisfied with the configuration of PSG, where he weighs little on decisions and recruitment.

Coincidence or coincidence, at the same time, the former manager of Tottenham, yet so discreet in the media since his arrival at PSG, granted in quick succession two interviews (to

and the

) in which he barely hides to say all the bad things he thinks about the way Paris Saint-Germain is managed.

To the point that we wonder if the former Parisian defender has not decided to move all in to force his departure from the club during the season.

He would like to do it that he would not do otherwise anyway.

Critics barely masked

His biggest projection, he offered it to our colleagues from

last week. “We didn't come looking for us to build a project, asking us what we needed to develop our ideas, or what we like. We came here to adapt and to win, with the structure and the characteristics of the players who are there, he explained. It is very different. We are there to develop the ideas of the PSG, not to develop our defined ideas, which would require building with the elements in our opinion necessary for these ideas. "

Basically, in addition to the clear distinction he makes between his staff and the club (there is never any question of "us"), Pochettino affirms that he has never had a say in the sports policy of the club.

He would only be the simple executor of a bling-bling project that he does not really seem to carry in his heart.

The Emir Al-Thani, who offered him on paper one of the most beautiful offensive triplets in football history, will appreciate.

In an ideal world, the #PSG leaves Paris on Tuesday, wins against #City on Wednesday evening, drops off #Pochettino on the forecourt of Old Trafford, returns to Paris at night and meets #Zidane at Camp des Loges on Thursday morning 😉 # DreamBigger

Basically, there is nothing wacky about Pochette's point. It also resembles in every way that of Thomas Tuchel, who had not hesitated to publicly defeat the recruitment of Leonardo, a few weeks before being shown the exit door. But it is not today that we discover that in Paris, more than elsewhere, the leaders align the stars and the zeros that go with the check while the coaches are asked to find the right recipe without moufter. Like a good diplomat, the native of Rosario still takes care to spare the goat and the cabbage, affirming that "it is not an easy task but it is an incredible challenge that we appreciate".

Nevertheless, Mauricio Pochettino does not miss an opportunity to recall the good memories of his life across the Channel. “Today is November 17th. And in two days, it is the two years anniversary since we left Tottenham, he saw fit to remind the Guardian. It's in my head. When I watch the games now it's always with a smile and trying to support them because when you love a club and feel at home you always wish the best for the people you know. "

At the end of last season, persistent rumors also indicated his desire to return to the fold, to the Spurs, without it ever having seen fit to deny officially.

His explanation?

“When you're not making the thing [the rumor], why say something?

I don't need to clarify things.

But of course I listened to everything.

Zidane reportedly opens door for PSG if Pochettino leaves

He did not seem very enthusiastic either when discussing the contract that binds him to PSG until June 2023. When the journalist points out to him that he still ended up extending his lease with Paris, Pochettino corrects: “No, we did not extend. When I signed in January, it was for a year and a half, plus an optional extra year. It is the club that activated the option. A barely disguised way of saying that he might not have extended his Parisian adventure if it had been up to him.

This is a message likely to comfort the leaders of Manchester United in their wish to exfiltrate the former coach of Espanyol and Southampton. What is certain is that if this were to happen, he would have no trouble repackaging his bazaar, he who has always lived at the hotel since his arrival in France. Blame it on the Coronavirus, it seems. His wife, meanwhile, has never made the trip to France and still lives in London with Sansa, their beloved dog, according to the

indiscretions

.

Officially, according to the BBC, PSG have no intention of parting ways with Pochettino during the season but, at the same time, the media are announcing that Zinédine Zidane could be interested in the job if ever the Argentinian had just left.

However, we know that Qatari leaders have always dreamed of bringing the 98 Golden Ball to the Parc des Princes.

That's good, Pochettino seems perfectly willing to give him the place.
