PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino remains the top priority for Manchester United.

That's according to French pundit Dominique Séverac.

He told L'Equipe du Soir: “The fact that he came back to a press conference because he was associated with Manchester United? This is not football, this is comedy. What I do know is that the Manchester United side have made him their priority.

"For his part, Pochettino gave his agreement. It is January, I have seen a lot of turnaround in football. We can say something in January and it does not go as planned thereafter. He won't be able to say anything to himself before the end of the season, but for me it's almost done!

"I'm telling you what I know. Manchester United wants him and he wants to go… So we are not far from an agreement!"
