Speaking on The Lockdown Tactics podcast, Spurs defender Danny Rose has revealed that ex-boss Mauricio Pochettino was ‘all over‘ Man United’s Harry Maguire after we beat his former club Hull City 3-0 in December 2016 – with the left-back theorising potential past interest.
Rose, who is currently out on loan at Newcastle United until the end of the season, although currently in limbo due to a global pandemic, sat down on the podcast and talked extensively over Harry Kane and the fact Spurs might have been in for Maguire before his eventual move away from the KCOM Stadium.
Should Spurs have tried to sign Maguire?
Yes, colossal defender
No, far better options
Reacting to the revelation, some Spurs fans have flocked to social media with their opinions over the centre back and the unexpected news – with one supporter even claiming that Levy is ‘kicking himself‘ over missing out on the 27-year-old.
Another Lilywhite claimed it was one of the reason’s Pochettino ‘had to go‘ – find all of their best comments here.
Daniel Levy kicking himself missing out on that profit 😅

He turned into an 80 million centre back whether he’s worth the fee or not he’s a good player

Poch to Utd…signed two of the players he wanted already (Maguire and Fernandes). Only a matter of time before he’s in and Ole is out
