Manchester United will officially consider the new manager in March-April this year, and Pochettino and Tenhag are the top two picks on the change list. But earlier, the Manchester Evening News wrote an analysis that Manchester United need to make a decision on the manager as soon as possible, because the current two managers have potential competitors. Pochettino is also a managerial target for another Champions League team, while Tenhag is on City's shortlist.
Lonnick will certainly take a back seat at the end of the season, so it is normal for United executives to consider the new manager in March-April in advance. Because they must determine the new coach before the summer window opens, and then they can cooperate with the new coach to complete the team building. But is it necessary to make a decision as soon as possible, as Man Wanwan said? These views are a bit alarmist.
According to Romano, Pochettino is the biggest hit. He has Premier League coaching experience and good relations with United executives, but no other media reporter has reported any other clubs interested in Pochettino.
Another Champions League team? The Premier League's current Champions League teams only need Manchester United to change the coach, Real Madrid in La Liga has no need to change the coach, Inzaghi Jr. has a good coaching performance, Inter not only does not want to change the coach, but also considers renewing the contract with the manager; Bayern is even more unlikely, Atletico Madrid? The eight characters have not been skimmed. Other Ligue 1 or Portuguese Premier League teams? It is even less likely to compete with Manchester United. Therefore, Man Wan's name was not even given by this team, which does not rule out that it is deliberately crisis and interferes with the change of manager at the top of Manchester United.
Manchester City and Manchester United compete with Tenhag? It's even more nonsense. Guardiola did a good job, why should Manchester City change managers? If they could, city executives would be eager to sign Guardiola to a contract for as long as possible. To be honest, after nearly 6 years of building, Guardiola has firmly rooted his tactical play in the Etihad. It is no exaggeration to say that Manchester City's current lineup can only be brought to new heights by Guardiola, and although Tenhag has studied under Guardiola, it is only a theoretical fit.
From Guardiola's point of view, he can constantly try new tactical changes here and play his ideas to new heights. With absolute trust at the top and strong financial support for him to buy the players he wants, where can Guardiola find such a good platform?
Besides, United have changed managers for five terms after Ferguson and are still not improving, which can already show that their main problem is not the manager. Why have City been able to maintain a strong and consistent performance every season? The key is the depth of the bench. It is precisely because the bench is also full of talent, Guardiola can rest assured that the overall strength of the rotation team can also remain stable. In addition, the bench is competitive, the main players will have a sense of crisis, and they will work harder after playing.
But looking at Manchester United, why the outside world has been questioning the attitude of the players is because there is no sense of crisis. If in other teams, with the performance and attitude of Pogba, Martial, Rashford and Greenwood, they would have been beaten into the cold palace long ago. But these players know that even if they perform averagely and have a problem with their attitude, there is no one on the bench who can replace them, as long as they are not injured, they will always be the main force, so they will always be so fearless.
To be honest, there is no second big team in world football like Manchester United, with a group of "high-paid and low-energy" players. The players have been causing trouble for the team, but the position has been as stable as Tarzan. The manager sent them on the pitch, as if to plead with them to show their attitude and play well. And the performance can not be criticized, otherwise it will attract the collective resistance of the players, and even eventually be "done".
In addition, there is a group of "old players" at the finger, Gary Neville, Scholes, Leo Ferdinand, Evra, Roy Keane, and other lesser-known veterans. If you perform well, you will praise it, hold it to the heavens, and once it does not perform well, you will step on it and make all kinds of suggestions. Someone like Soshuai with DNA is a little better, and someone like Ronnick is hard to be spared. To be honest, none of United's multi-talking celebrities have made achievements in the coaching position, and this kind of voice will only adversely affect the team and will not help.
Therefore, this kind of atmosphere of players outside the team is not completely corrected, and it is difficult for the manager with the best tactical concept and more advanced to come to Manchester United to work smoothly, because the resistance is too great. With this in mind, Manchester United can't be too hasty to change the coach this time. After 8 years, it is time to choose a suitable new coach from the perspective of solving the fundamental problem, and the role of Lonnick is reflected at this time. At the coaching level, he lacks persuasion, but in the field of team building, he is definitely an expert.
