Man Utd fullback Shaw discusses his special Pochettino relationship

Manchester United fullback Luke Shaw has spoken in the past of playing for PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino is favourite to replace the sacked Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and worked with Shaw at Southampton.

"He used to call me his son," wrote Shaw in Guillem Ballugue's book 'Brave New World: Inside Pochettino's Spurs'. "That's how good our relationship was. I've had lots of ups and downs, but when I was with Pochettino it was only ever up, up, up.

"He made me feel that I was the best. He'd show me clips of my games and say, 'You could do this better'. Not in a horrible way. Not I could have done better, but I should have done better, because he knows I can be better.

"I think with Southampton he achieved the impossible. We were one of the best footballing teams in the league... I do hope that I can play for him again one day. And I think he really wants me to play under him again."
