Gary Neville has said that he wants Mauricio Pochettino as the next manager at Manchester United.
The former Manchester United captain has also blasted the club authority for the “mismanagement” of the team.
Former Manchester United captain-turned-pundit Gary Neville has said that he will have Mauricio Pochettino as the next manager at Manchester United following the sacking of Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese gaffer was sacked after the Red Devils faced their worst start to the season, with a crushing defeat in his last match against Liverpool.
Neville said, “I said last season the next manager should be Pochettino. You look at his belief in young players at Southampton and Tottenham, how he carries himself in public and private. For me he feels the most ideal candidate.”
He added, “United have tried managers who have won European cups, leagues, solid goruning in Premier League. Three key principles of this club are promotion of youth, attractive football and winning football. I do think he is the person who is the most outstanding candidate. If you’re Daniel Levy you grab him and hold on for dear life as you move into a new stadium.”
Neville also thrashed the club for their “mismanagement”, “The consequence of not backing your manager or going against your manager for one or two signings… it never ends well. It is never as simple as just being the manager’s problems. The players take responsibility, the board takes responsibility. There has been seven years of poor decisions and poor resentments. Who has the final say? I can’t see anyone in the football club with the qualification to do that. Recruitment has been erratic.”
