Mauricio Pochettino has admitted he would love to return to the Premier League someday.

Spurs sacked the Argentine in November following a dip in form for the Champions League finalists before Jose Mourinho took over on November 20, 2019.

Rumors have been growing over his potential appointment at Old Trafford since the turn of the year after one report claimed he had already held talks with the club and made this major demand of United's executive vice-chairman, Woodward.

And addressing those rumours for the first time, Pochettino, while not specifically naming Manchester United told Sky Sports' In The Pink podcast  he would be tempted by another job in the English top flight if the right opportunity presented itself.

"To be honest, I would love to work in the Premier League. It's going to be difficult, I know, and for now, it's a moment to wait and we'll see what happens.

"It's a moment of recovery, to think about yourself a little bit, and to be ready because in football always something can happen and you need to be ready.

"I'm ready and waiting for a new challenge. I have the belief and confidence that the next challenge will be fantastic."
