Tottenham boss Pochettino dismisses Man Utd rumours

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he's fully committed to the job.

Pochettino has been linked with Manchester United this week.

“I am very grateful to the club, to the fans and to Daniel (Levy)," said ­Pochettino, who signed a new five-year deal in May.

“When you are in a difficult situation, this is the moment when you need to show that you are there.

“It is easy when everything is good to be there but, when the winter is coming, it's easy to run away.

“I want to be there in the frontline ­fighting and trying to compete with all the ­circumstances that, today, are in the club.

“I feel the responsibility to be here and that is why I am here.

“I am happy and think ­Tottenham gave us a lot of things that we will always be grateful for. So it was a moment to say, 'We are going to be with you all, fighting in these circumstances' – we knew what was going to happen."
