Pochettino looking to emulate Ferguson at Tottenham

The Spurs boss wants to follow in the former Manchester United manager's footsteps and create a title-winning side based around English talent.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino would love to replicate Manchester United icon Alex Ferguson by building around young English talent with Spurs.

Ferguson turned United into a force on the back of winning the 1992-93 Premier League – their first top-flight title in 26 years, which would be followed by 12 more under Ferguson.

The Argentine has the likes of England stars Harry Kane and Dele Alli in top form this season, with Spurs second to Chelsea in the league table.

And Pochettino hopes the home-grown stars he has nurtured can become title-winning stars in north London.

"There is big pressure to win when you are a big club," Pochettino said.
