Mauricio Pochettino was tight-lipped when quizzed on Erik ten Hag's unveiling as the next permanent Manchester United manager.
Ten Hag will take over at Old Trafford at the end of the season with United confirming his appointment on a three-year contract on Thursday. The Dutchman's main rival for the role was Pochettino, who had been tipped for the United role throughout a challenging season with Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine has proven Premier League experience from his eye-catching spells with Tottenham and Southampton but United chiefs were ultimately won over by Ten Hag's impressive track record with Ajax. Speaking on Friday, Pochettino refused to be drawn when asked about whether Ten Hag winning the race to become United manager will allow him to refocus his efforts on PSG.
