Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly discussed transfer targets with Manchester United chiefs, amid talk that he is being lined up to take charge.

Mauricio Pochettino has reportedly informed Manchester United of his summer transfer targets ahead of his proposed switch from Tottenham Hotspur.

The 46-year-old is widely considered to be Man United's preferred candidate to succeed Jose Mourinho as the club's next permanent manager.

According to CaughtOffside, initial talks between Pochettino and Red Devils chiefs have already been held over taking charge from the end of the season.

The report indicates that the Argentine has made clear that he wants United to splash out £70m on Leicester City ace James Maddison, while other possible targets have also been mentioned with executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward.

Despite the inflated valuation for a player with just half a season of Premier League football under his belt, Pochettino is rumoured to have told United's hierarchy that it will be money well spent.

Christian Eriksen is another midfield option for the Red Devils, but Spurs are unlikely to want to do any further business with United should they poach Pochettino.
