Of course, it’s his right to wait, to sign this week or in six months, to have different dreams and challenges.“For me, it’s not a point to discuss. He’s committed to us, he’s playing so well. I’m so happy with him.”Pochettino and Spurs face Ole Gunner Solskjaer’s high-flying United on Sunday.The two teams go into the match on good form, with both side’s winning four of their last five league outings.You can listen to all the action on talkSPORT.getty3
