Why is everyone, pundits included, so confident that Pochettino will succeed? I am not overly impressed with his CV. He had one good year at Tottenham, and PSG is in Ligue 1, which is not exactly the most difficult football league to win. He took over a PSG team that has either won or finished second in Ligue 1 for each of the past 11 years. And now, he has Messi along with Neymar and Mbappe.
Is Poch going to come in to United and clean house like Van Gaal or Mourinho did - in a desire to create his own team? Ole, for all his faults, did a good job of building a solid base.
I am more intrigued by Erik ten Hag. For one, Ajax, like United has an excellent youth system that brings players through into the senior team. Ten Hag is accustomed to this. I feel better about a manager that will build with a solid foundation, rather than bring in big names. Plus, ten Hag has stuck around and succeeded everywhere he has managed, whereas Pochettino has only really succeeded where he has stumbled into good situations that already existed. I'm just not sold on Pochettino.
