Mauricio Pochettino has been urged by a number of former Tottenham players and managers to publicly rule himself out of the Manchester United job.Harry Redknapp, Clive Allen and Tim Sherwood joined talkSPORT to offer their verdict on the rampant speculation surrounding the Argentines future.3

Pochettino has been tipped to replace Mourinho in the Man United hotseat

Man United on Wednesday hired club legend Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as caretaker manager until the end of the season, replacing Jose Mourinho after he was sacked on Tuesday morning.The Red Devils will look to appoint their next permanent boss in the summer, with Pochettino one of the favourites.The Tottenham coach refused to comment of those reports earlier this week, and while he said he is fully focused on Spurs that has not halted the links to Old Trafford.Those rumours are unlikely to go away until the manager shuts down the story himself.And Tottenham legend Allen has told Pochettino to do just that.Speaking on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, the former striker said: I think he should come out and say, I have no interest in the Manchester United job.Obviously there is going to be speculation with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in the position of temporary manager, and I think that speculation is going to continue throughout the rest of the season.3

Clive Allen and Harry Redknapp have called for Pochettino to commit to Tottenham

Speaking to talkSPORT host Jim White, former boss Redknapp added: If Pochettino wants to stay at Tottenham, hes got to come out and say no [to Man United], Im staying here.But at the moment he doesnt seem to be saying that.

Don't get the fantasy about Martial.He has talent but he occupies LW for which we already have Hazard and Hudson-Odoi.His main strengths are dribbling and cutting in 1v1 which would be nullified at RW.Not to mention that it's plain stupid to spend even 1 penny on him as he has 1 year left on his contract if he doesnt trigger the extension.Would rather go for Zaha.
