For some time now, United's top brass has been scrambling to find a new manager. Comprehensive media reports also basically show that Manchester United's new coach has entered the non-A or B selection stage, that is, to choose between Tenhag and Pochettino. In the initial stages, Pochettino has been the number one target at United's top brass. But after the Champions League knockout rounds, Tenhag's heat began to rise, and he sat at the top of the odds list. Sure enough, the breakthrough progress came!
According to an exclusive news from journalist David Cartwright, The United hierarchy has made the decision to hire Tenhag as the new manager. There will be no immediate announcement, as Tenhag is still competing for the titles in the Eredivisie, but the contract for his work has already begun. In addition, you will start to hear about the exact targets for The Manchester United summer window in the coming weeks. Because in the past few days, United have begun to clarify the transfer target based on the idea of the new manager.
Although compared to romano and other famous people, David Cartwright's fame is far from it. But he is dedicated, he only reports on manchester United's transfer news, and adds personal insights and insights. Many of United's previous transfers have been hit early by him, and it is clear that the benevolent brother has his own reliable source.
Truth be told, if it is between Tenhag and Pochettino, then obviously the former is more vocal. This coaching experience in Grand Paris completely ruined the good reputation accumulated before Pochettino, and also made the outside world question his helm of the giants. In addition, as United need to determine the new manager as soon as possible, in order to start preparing for the summer window. But Pochettino has a contract with Paris, and the severance payment is more than 10 million, while Tenhag is less than 5 million, which may be the reason why The United executives eventually prefer to hire Tenhag.
In an interview, Brazilian legendary superstar and Barca star Rivaldo was also very optimistic about Tenhag's future at Manchester United, and used words such as "the best choice" and "great signing".
"United have spoken to Tenhag about coaching and he is currently a favourite. Look at what the Dutchman has done for Ajax and I believe he is the best choice for United's next manager. He's a fantastic coach and his coaching style is in line with Manchester United's big club status, and watching the Ajax he coaches will be wonderful. So, I'm happy to imagine what he's going to do at a Manchester United club with a bunch of good players, he's going to be a great signing for Manchester United. ”
Truth be told, It's been almost 10 years since United were rebuilt, and every change of manager has envisioned new hopes, but in the end it has become a disappointment. This time, of course, Tenhag will once again ignite the hopes of Manchester United fans, but the difficult challenges facing him are far more than imagined.
First of all, Manchester United is likely to fail to reach the top 4 this season, so the pressure on the record next season will be greater. If United miss the top 4 for two consecutive seasons, the blow to the economy is huge, which means that Tenhag will not have much room for fault. If he can't lead Manchester United to stay at the top of the table, or even fall to the middle and lower levels, the pressure brought by the media, journalists, fans, celebrities and so on will be something he has never experienced.
Secondly, there will definitely be a big change in the squad in the Summer Window. Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Cavani, Mata and other players whose contracts have expired are determined to leave the team, and even Cristiano Ronaldo will seek to leave the team. Players such as Bailey, Phil Jones, Henderson and Martial also want to leave the team for the main position. But without qualifying for the Champions League, United's signing budget will certainly be cut appropriately, and its appeal to top players will also decline, making it difficult for United to get the target they want in the fierce competition.
In addition, as the outside world fears, Tenhag has never had any previous coaching experience in the giants and top leagues. And Manchester United is a very deep, not very pure giant, the Competition in the Premier League is so fierce, his tactical play, on-the-spot response, how can he cope with it? All this will press the start button in the midst of concern and doubt.
All in all, Manchester United don't have many options, and Tenhag is a relatively better option at the moment. It is hoped that the top level can delegate authority and give support. With the help of the experienced Lonnick, Tenhag may take a completely different path from the previous Manchester United managers, and we will wait and see.
