Breaking news: As Mauricio Pochettino gives final say as he responds to a reporter asking him if he will love to be Manchester United coach .

 PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino has 

reportedly turned down Manchester 

United as he waits on his dream job at 

Real Madrid.

The Argentine is expected to leave 

the French giants in the summer unless 

he can win the Champions League - 

with the expectations extremely high 

at PSG this season.

The Red Devils have been heavily

 linked with the former Tottenham 

Hotspur manager for quite some time, 

but now face a battle to capture his

 signature, with Real now circling as 

they consider a replacement for Carlo

 Ancelotti.

Sportsmail understands that Real, along

 with Tottenham, failed in an attempt to 

lure Pochettino away from PSG last summer 

because the French club were unwilling 

to let the Argentine leave.

There is a growing sense Pochettino will be 

obtainable at the end of this season 

and the Spanish giants remain huge

 admirers of the ex-Spurs head coach 

as doubts emerge over Carlo Ancelotti's 

future at the Bernabeu.

The Argentine coach has never hidden 

his desire to one day sit on the white bench

, and Madrid president Florentino

 Pérez has him in mind as one of the

 team's future coaches while he is in charge.

Pochettino turned down an opportunity

 in 2018 when Zidane left, and although 

he remains in the PSG hotseat, he has

 already turned down Man United in 

hope of landing the Los Blancos job, 

according to reports in Spain.

The 49-year-old knows that if experienced

 boss Ancelotti fails to win the LaLiga 

or continue their progress in the 

Champions League, the job could 

be his to take.

Pochettino and Ancelotti are currently

 going head-to-head in the last-16 of 

the Champions League with the French

 side leading 1-0 after the first leg.

Pochettino, alongside Ajax boss Erik

 ten Hag, remains among the main 

contenders to replace current interim 

boss Ralf Rangnick - although things 

have become more complicated with 

Madrid now showing interest.
