Pochettino signed a new five-year contract at Tottenham in May worth up to £8.5m each year, but is still linked with the two giants.

Former Arsenal defender Lauren has claimed that Pochettino will depart North London in the summer for either United or Madrid.

“I do expect Pochettino to leave Tottenham this summer,” he told bwin.

“I think he will have a decision between Man Utd or Real Madrid.

“Tottenham are becoming a bigger team, but they’re nowhere near the size of Man Utd or Real Madrid and as a manager he will want to see what he can achieve at the very top level.

“These teams will give him a real chance to win the Champions League.”
