Dimitar Berbatov believes Mauricio Pochettino might be eyeing replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United.

The Argentine was heavily linked with United last year after being sacked by Tottenham.

And with United under pressure after losing 6-1 to Spurs last weekend, Berbatov thinks Pochettino will have one eye on Old Trafford.

"Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has taken some criticism recently, I can understand why the odds say he is the most likely manager to leave his post, especially if they continue down this road," the former United frontman told Betfair.

"The pressure on him will only continue to grow, and if they continue to fail to win points, the point will likely come where action is taken. I believe he is still fine for the job personally, and we will have to see.

"To me, it is amazing that Mauricio Pochettino is available for this job, one of football's finest coaches in my opinion.

"You can say maybe he waited for this job, but that is very risky for a manager to do, and I cannot believe another club hasn't snapped him up.

"Pochettino may be 'the man', but at some stage, they were all 'the man' - [David] Moyes, [Louis] van Gaal, [Jose] Mourinho, all were the next saviour at one stage.

"For United fans, I would say that every single person connected to the team in any way are all suffering.

"The ones that will express their feelings the loudest will be the fans, and I can understand this. United are led by people who want success for the club, and the glory days will return, of that there is no doubt - just when that is, is the question."
