It’d be a huge test. I think deep down that’s the one Pochettino wants. “There’s only United and Real Madrid that I think really take his fancy.  “When you think about it, Jurgen Klopp’s not going anywhere at Liverpool. Chelsea change their manager every two minutes but the Tottenham and Chelsea thing would ruin everything he’s done at Spurs.  “He already said he won’t go to Barcelona because of the links with Espanyol. “There’s just two clubs really. I know you’ve got Bayern, PSG and so on but I think he’d prefer to stay in the Premier League or go back to La Liga.  “If that did happen [Mourinho leaves Man Utd], it would not surprise me if United go really hard for Pochettino. And, given what’s happened at Spurs, I’d be surprised if he stayed.” While tipping Pochettino to leave Spurs at some stage in the near future, Jenas admits walking away with no silverware would be difficult for a man who has worked so hard to transform the fortunes of a success-starved club.He added: “The only sticking point for United is he’s invested so many years at Tottenham.  “I always say to people the way he’s loved by players, handles the football club and handles himself - you don’t see him moan too much - I reckon all the biggest clubs in the world want Pochettino to manage them.  “It’s on his terms when he wants to push that button. “It’s whether he feels there’s a rush and a need in his career to go down that road. “I’m almost certain if he left Tottenham without winning anything, it would leave a horrible taste in his mouth.  “He’d be thinking: ‘Yes, I had a good time, but what did I actually do there?’“The answer would be he didn’t win a thing. “It would surprise me to see him leave without winning anything because Manchester United and Real are always going to be there whenever he wants the job.”</blockquote>
