Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho is a shrewd tactician on the pitch, as well as off it.

Tottenham Hotspur fans would have noticed that particular attribute when reading a report involving both the United boss and their own manager.

According to Mundo Deportivo, via Sport Witness, Mourinho has advised Real Madrid president Florentino Perez to move for Spurs coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Zinedine Zidane's position in charge of Los Blancos has come under scrutiny due to the club's current predicament in La Liga.

The club are fourth in the standings and a whopping 19 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.

Despite the fact that Zidane has guided the team to back-to-back Champions League crowns, as well as the league title in just over two years, doubts surround his future.

Mundo Deportivo claims that Mourinho, who spent three years in charge of Real, has put in a good work for Pochettino.

The Argentine has helped transform Tottenham into regular top-four finishers and title contenders over the past four years.

If Pochettino did end up moving to the Bernabeu, that would certainly weaken one of United's big rivals.

These latest reports have sparked a reaction from Spurs fans on Twitter.
