Mauricio Pochettino has commended Ole Gunnar Solskjaer ahead of welcoming Manchester United to Wembley on Sunday, January 13, for their second clash of the season in the league.

The Spurs boss has it that Ole's move of bringing in Red Devils veteran ex-gaffer Alex Ferguson back into the frame of Old Trafford has rekindled the clubs energy and winning spirit.

Skysports reports that the interim manager invited the worlds most successful manager to the training grounds in the hopes of turning around United's fortune.

And now the Argentine, who is still strongly tipped to be Manchester United's next handler despite Solskjaer giving him a run for it, has revealed his deep, fond admiration for Ferguson.

"It is fantastic news because he is football., Sir Alex means football. For Him to be involved is massively important," said Pochettino.

"He was one of the people I admired the most, an inspiration. We had a very nice lunch in London (2016) and since then we have kept a good relationship," the Spurs boss said.

The two remain top contenders for the top job after Jose Mourinho was shown the door, and no doubt the game will be a chance for the football fraternity to see both managers go head to head.

However, Pochettino said that Solskjaer was fortunate to have access to Ferguson constantly and have the decorated managers by his side, dubbing him an encyclopedia of football.
