Pochettino has insisted he is “so focused on delivering my best job” when he was asked about the vacant Old Trafford post later on Tuesday, with United set to hire a caretaker manager before appointing a full-time boss in the summer.Emery has a long friendship with Pochettino dating back to their managerial days in Spain, and he is certain the Spurs boss is content where he is amid the United links.“I think he’s very happy at Tottenham,” said the Gunners chief.“I think he’s coaching a very big team with a very big player and now they are in the Champions League they are also in a better position in the Premier League than Manchester United.2

“I think his performance at Tottenham is very big. I don’t know if he’s thinking to change for another club, but I am looking at him with a very big commitment to Tottenham and he’s creating a good performance a good idea at Tottenham.“Tottenham improved a lot with him. I think we need also to create our way and our test tomorrow is a very big test.”Emery has also joined the host of rival Premier League managers in voicing their support for Mourinho following his Old Trafford departure.Emery’s Arsenal side drew 2-2 at United in what proved to be Mourinho’s penultimate home game in charge of the Red Devils, and admits he was surprised to see him sacked given his “very big” Premier League experience. “The only thing I can say to you is that it’s a surprise for me and not good news, because when one coach finishes his work like that, it’s not good for coaches,” he said.“Each coach has their own way of management. They always think how they can be better with the work they do every day, their management team, and the players collectively and individually.“They’re pushing with one way or another way. Mourinho’s experience in the Premier League and of coaching in general is very, very big. It’s not good news, but I don’t know why this decision’s been made.”
