Manchester United legend Paul Scholes admits he's a big fan of Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "His team might have lost to Liverpool on Tuesday night but the more I see of Mauricio Pochettino, the more I think he is the best young coach around.

"What I like about Pochettino is the way that he looks in control. He is in control of his players, in control of the way that they play. He is confident without being arrogant and his team is playing with a great energy.

"He had very little to spend in the summer and yet he improved the players that he inherited. He has a clear way of playing, the 4-2-3-1 formation, and from what I hear his squad's fitness is a major part of the way he works. In that respect he takes them right up to the limit in training and they play the same way.

"Not only that but he has been brave in picking younger players ahead of the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor, Roberto Soldado and Paulinho."
