The car, which is understood to be a Dacia Sandero, failed to stop for officers, say Greater Manchester Police.
Cops then pursued the driver before deciding to bring the chase to an end.
Shocking pictures from the scene show a burnt out car – with the make and model no longer identifiable.
The pub has also suffered damages in upsetting images which show the extent of the fire.
Fire crews have erected a tent outside the pub and forensic teams are combing the area.
Greater Manchester Police has referred themselves to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC).
The tragic victim has not yet been identified.
Floral tributes have today been left at the scene.
