Tottenham relaxed about Manchester United and Chelsea interest in key man
TOTTENHAM are not concerned about losing Mauricio Pochettino, according to reports.
Pochettino and Levy are said to have a strong working relationship
The Argentinian manager has guided Spurs to second in the Premier League in what has been the London side's best season in recent memory.
And both Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to make a move for the 43-year-old this summer.
But according to the Daily Mail, chairman Daniel Levy is not worried about losing the manager to their Premier League rivals.
The 54-year-old businessman has an excellent relationship with his manager and Pochettino has had no problem working alongside Levy on transfers.
The former Southampton boss also has three-and-a-half years left on his current contract, although should Pochettino deliver a Premier League title he may expect a new deal in the summer.
At Chelsea, interim manager Guus Hiddink will step down at the end of the season to leave the job vacant and with Pep Guardiola already committed to joining Manchester City, Pochettino is very high on the list of Europe's top managers.
Dele Alli: Tottenham vs Crystal Palace
Meanwhile, Louis van Gaal is expected to leave Old Trafford if he fails to qualify for the Champions League.
And although Jose Mourinho is understood to have told friends that he will take over, some members of United's hierarchy are not keen on the Portuguese's confrontational style.
Pochettino could represent a far more palatable option while he could also hold the key to tempting some of his Tottenham charges to follow him, including United targets Harry Kane and Dele Alli.
