October 4, 2019 - Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has quashed rumors of a potential move to Manchester United, declaring his intention to remain at the London club for the next five years.
United's recent poor form has sparked speculation that manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer could be the first to lose his job, with Pochettino being tipped as a possible replacement.
However, Pochettino was adamant that he is committed to Tottenham, despite the team's recent struggles, including a 7-2 humiliation by Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of the team's match against Brighton on October 5, Pochettino said, "It is a moment to stay all together. I accept the opinions. When you don't win, not only at Tottenham, this happens at every club in the world."
He went on to suggest that he would still be at Tottenham in five years' time, saying, "In the end, the only thing that happened is that we lost a game. I have no doubt we are going to stay together and find a way to be successful again, no doubt. In five-and-a-half years, every single press conference we have talked about my future."
