The greatest thing I see about Howe apart from his play is that he seems to manage to get this increased level of performance from players that I have hardly ever heard of, players that you would argue would struggle to get in to teams lower than Bournemouth in the league.
Historically I have seen managers that seem to do well at smaller clubs, and this tends o be because they actually have some good players accumulated by the manager where they end up doing a decent job for that club level. Moyes had managed to get players like fellaini, cahill, Baines, Coleman, Pienaar etc etc all players plus more that were capable of occasionally pulling a rabbit out of a hat. Then the same with Pochettino - a manager that is no doubt class but always had good players with him be it Wanyama, schneirderlin, Clyne, Llalana, Lovren, Shaw, Prowse etc etc. Brendan rodgers had ashley williams, Leon Britton, Michael Vorm, Joe Allen, Sigurdsson, Angel Rangel,
With Bournemouth I hardly see anyone of note on that same level - maybe Lewis cook, Callum Wilson, boruc and Ake? But again not anyone that I'd look at as a player capable pulling a magic trick when the club needed it the most atleast not in comparison to Moyes's, Rodgers and Pochettino's team.
Thats what makes me interested in Howe - What could he potentially build at United if he had the ability to get so much of so little? It's a very simplistic view on football - but then again I look at a player like Rashford and his game plan would instantly blend with Howe's who uses Defoe as a back up striker for ffs..
