According to reports, PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino would prefer a move to Tottenham Hotspur over Man Utd this summer.
Pochettino has been linked with Man Utd dating back to his time as manager of Tottenham Hotspur.
Under the 50-year-old, Spurs finished as runners-up in the Champions League in 2018/19.

After leaving Tottenham towards the end of 2019, Pochettino took over at PSG in January 2021.
Man Utd are currently on the lookout for a new permanent manager. Pochettino and Ajax boss Erik ten Hag appear to be the leading candidates for the role.
Although talkSPORT’s Alan Brazil has suggested that Pochettino “wants to comeback” to England, with Tottenham and not Man Utd.
This is “from the horse’s mouth”, as Brazil boldly proclaims:
“Pochettino is not going to United – Man United have been warned by PSG sporting director [Leonardo] that Pochettino has no intention of leaving Paris,” Brazil told talkSPORT.
“Well, I tell you right now, that is not the case.
“From the horse’s mouth, Poch wants to comeback to the Premier League and he wants to comeback with Tottenham.”
Elsewhere, Gary Neville has named Portuguese midfielder Bruno Fernandes as one Manchester United player who could get in Man City’s side, but admitted even he would struggle.
Man Utd travel to face their rivals Man City on Sunday afternoon. The Red Devils are unbeaten in three games at the Etihad.
United were beaten 2-0 when the sides met earlier this season at Old Trafford.
Neville said: “I can be really honest about it, I’ll go through them.
“[Ruben] Dias, [Aymeric] Laporte, [Joao] Cancelo and [Kyle] Walker — they’re better than all of United’s back four. Fernandinho and Rodri, they’re better than United’s holding midfield players. Bernardo Silva, [Ilkay] Gundogan…
“Bruno is the only one that I think, over the last 12 to 18 months, could… but [Kevin] De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, [Riyad] Mahrez, [Phil] Foden and [Raheem] Sterling.
“I can’t put Bruno in ahead of Bernardo Silva at the moment, or De Bruyne. It’s a sad indictment really.”
