Journalist provides update on Mauricio Pochettino to Manchester United links

Posted by

Manchester United have not yet made a formal approach for former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino despite speculation that he’s been targeted to replace Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Argentine has been strongly linked with Man Utd by the Manchester Evening News, but Jamie Jackson of the Guardian has told Stretty News that he expects the club to stick with Solskjaer and that no contact has been made over Pochettino.

Some United fans will no doubt be disappointed by this update, but at the same time it could also be worth sticking with popular club legend Solskjaer, who has done some fine work at Old Trafford even if the team is still a long way from what these fans are used to.

The Norwegian tactician is clearly not as a big a name as Pochettino, but he’s got United playing some good attacking football in challenging circumstances.

Jackson notes that questions should also be asked of Pochettino, who, for all his fine work at Spurs, did not lead the club to silverware.

Mauricio Pochettino has apparently not been approached by Manchester United

After so many changes of manager down the years, there’s no guarantee that swapping Solskjaer for Pochettino would automatically deliver success.

Sticking with Solskjaer and showing him the patience they showed Sir Alex Ferguson could end up being the better route for United.

  1. Comparing OGS to SAF is hardly the right yardstick. SAF came to a team in the doldrums where players were indisciplined and with devil may care attitude. Solskjaer has inherited a decent team devoid of recent success. And nearly a third or half the team had been secured by him. He has had ample time to deliver results, but has disappointed. Perhaps he may be given until end of December and then the axe may have to fall if results do not improve.

    1. Your worthless opinion means nothing, just a little poch fanboy talking pure rot and no idea who Manchester United ever is. Ole Solskjaer has been absolutely brilliant for MUFC and that’s a fact

  2. Solskjaer not as big a name as managerial failure Pochettino Hahahah, I know, Solskjaer is a BIGGER NAME. Manchester United has never wanted the Argentine loser and never will, they have who they want and he is doing a brilliant job as manager. The world class Ole Solskjaer will take this club back to the very top and that is a guarantee
