According to a report from Daily Post Nigeria, on Thursday November 12, 2026, Harry Kane has praised Mauricio Pochettino amid reports linking the former Tottenham manager with a move to Manchester United.

United are reportedly in talks with Pochettino, who currently coaches the United States national team. The club is also expected to consider Michael Carrick’s future during the international break after a difficult start to the Premier League season.

Speaking at a press conference ahead of England’s Nations League match against Croatia, Kane described Pochettino as both an outstanding coach and a person.

“He’s managed some of the biggest clubs in the world,” the Bayern Munich striker said. “We’ll have to wait and see what happens, but I know he’s a great guy and a fantastic manager.”

Kane knows Pochettino well from their time together at Tottenham Hotspur, where the Argentine coached the England captain.

He did not confirm whether Pochettino would take the United job, but his comments made clear that he holds his former manager in high regard.
