The position of their in-demand manager looks to be secure
Michael Owen
Mauricio Pochettino last week confirmed he wants to manage in La Liga one day - sparking fears he could land the Real job.
But Zinedine Zidane’s re-appointment at the Bernabeu on Monday has ended that hope for the short term.
And ex-England striker Owen reckons Pochettino won’t be heading to Old Trafford either.
“Some welcome news for Spurs fans after dropping out of the @premierleague title race,” Owen tweeted.

Spurs: Pochettino is ‘frustrated’ in his position claims McGarry
“Surely only a matter of time before Solskjaer gets named as United's manager.
“And with Zidane returning to Madrid, the position of their in-demand manager looks to be secure.”
Pochettino had also been loosely linked with Barcelona earlier this season, but their manager Ernesto Valverde has signed a new contract at the Nou Camp.
Pochettino joined Tottenham in 2014 and has steered them into the Champions League over the past two seasons.
