Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>PSG Sporting Director, Leonardo has opened up on speculations linking former Real Madrid boss, Zinedine Zidane to the club and current boss, Mauricio Pochettino leaving Paris for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian Sporting Director insisted that United\u2019s Pochettino will not be leaving PSG, adding that the Premier League has not even made any contact for the Argentine.<\/p>\n

Pochettino has been heavily linked with a move to Old Trafford following the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Solskjaer was dismissed by the United board on Sunday after the former Premier League club were beaten 4-1 by lowly rated Watford.<\/p>\n

And Pochettino emerged as the leading contender to become United\u2019s next permanent manager.<\/p>\n

United have now agreed a deal with Ralf Rangnick to become interim boss at the club as the search for a permanent boss continues.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not want Mauricio Pochettino to go,\u2019 said the Brazilian sporting director on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has never asked to leave and nobody has contacted us for him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe respect Zinedine Zidane a lot, both as a player and a coach, but I tell you very clearly that there has been no contact and no meeting with him has taken place.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is ridiculous to imagine that a meeting with us and Zinedine Zidane could have taken place in a big hotel in Paris in front of the eyes of everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

PSG players know the situation \u2013 Pochettino speaks on leaving for Man Utd after City defeat<\/p>\n
