Pochettino dismisses Man Utd links: I love PSG, I'm so happy here

Manchester United target Mauricio Pochettino insists he is happy at Paris Saint-Germain.

The Argentina is reportedly United's top target to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager.

But the former Tottenham Hotspur boss has poured cold water on those rumours.

"What another club are doing in that moment is not my business, not my problem," Pochettino said. "I need to be focused on Paris Saint-Germain.

"I'm not going to make the mistake to talk. In the past, when I was at Espanyol and my dream was to meet Ferguson, all that, I can tell now it's going to be misunderstood and out of context.

"I was a player at Paris Saint-Germain, I love the club, I love the fans. I think it's a fantastic time to be at the club."

Pochettino added: "I am very focused. I am not a kid, I have spent my whole life playing football, and now my 12th year being a coach.

"We are in a business where the rumours are there. I completely understand what is going on, sometimes in a positive way, sometimes in a negative way.

"This type of thing cannot distract. Rumours are there, and we need to live with that.

"We are so focused, we are giving our 100% to give our best for the club and to help the players perform in the best way. I am so happy at Paris Saint-Germain."
