Mauricio Pochettino has already told Ed Woodward his demands as Man United make approach

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino could soon be back in management.

The Argentine tactician has been out of work since leaving Spurs just under a year ago, but revealed this week that's he ready to make a return amid links to the likes of Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain.

And there has been a major development in regards to Pochettino's future.

Mauricio Pochettino's last Spurs press conference

According to our friends at the Manchester Evening News, United have approached Pochettino about becoming their next manager

In addition, the report states that United have made contact with Pochettino's representatives amid the team's dismal form under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

If Pochettino was to replace Solskjaer at Old Trafford, he's already explained how he could change things at United.

"I think we spent a little bit more time than we did at Southampton. Southampton was different to Tottenham, and of course, when we arrived at Tottenham, the circumstances were completely different," he said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show when discussing implementing a pressing style at Spurs.

"Tottenham was a team with 33 players, was a team that was trying to create some identity and that was why they hired maybe a young coaching staff and manager and to try and develop different ways to approach the games.

"In the same way I am talking about Nicola and Southampton, but for us, Tottenham was an amazing job, more than five years that we really enjoyed from day one.

"All the people and the staff there that were helping from day one, to us, to help us be successful. Then, the players, they were amazing too.

"We had a group with different habits, the players were not responsible for the habits they adopted, it’s always who leads the club.

"Then, you need to create the line from the top and to be strong in your principle and the way you’re going to develop and lead the way things happen.

"That was amazing, to have this facility, to feel free to create something special in Tottenham, that was amazing. Then, of course, in all change, it’s always painful, but when you arrive at a new club, you need to make some changes.

"If you arrive at the beginning, it’s easier, but if you arrive in the middle, the same, you need to start to build and that’s why it’s so important to create a big platform and that’s what we really believe.

"For the coaching staff, it’s about building the platform where the players can feel comfortable and can improve. It’s so important."
