Spurs boss Pochettino targets loan deal for Man Utd striker Welbeck

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is targeting a loan deal for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck.

The Daily Mail says Pochettino was in Milton Keynes to witness Manchester United's embarrassing defeat, which offered him a timely insight into the perils of games you are expected to win and a close-up look at Welbeck.

Tottenham are among several clubs interested in signing the England striker, who wants regular football away from Old Trafford.

Pochettino, who clinched the signing of Federico Fazio for £8million from Sevilla on Thursday night, is also keen on Jay Rodriguez but the Southampton striker will not be fit until January and relations between the clubs were soured by a failed swoop for Morgan Schneiderlin.

However, the idea of Welbeck appeals to others at Tottenham, especially on loan.
