Eriksen snubs Man United exit, Pochettino makes Chelsea demand, Potter return?

However, the Danish international is one of the players United are ready to consider offers for in the summer.

Eriksen had attracted interest from Galatasary ahead of the Turkish transfer window closing on Friday, but neither he nor United were open to the move at this time.

Come the end of the season, Eriksen will be 32 and only have a year left on his contract and new minority owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe is keen to lower the average age of the squad.

Eriksen also faces a battle to win back his place in United's starting line-up from impressive teenager Kobbie Manioo.

Maur involved

Mauricio Pochettino is set to ask for a bigger say in Chelsea's recruitments plans if he is still in charge come the summer.

Sources close to Pochettino say he has grown frustrated at having little or no input into the signings Chelsea have made during his tenure.

Those feelings were exasperated as fans turned against Pochettino in the midst of Sunday's 4-2 defeat at home by Wolves.

The Argentine has been left particularly exposed by the failure to sign an established striker, with Cole Palmer again deployed as a false number 9 during Wednesday's FA Cup win at Aston Villa.

Pochettino is also believed to have reservations about Chelsea's policy, led by co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart, of targeting young players with future sell-on value.
