Gary Neville believes that Mauricio Pochettino is the idea replacement for Jose Mourinho as Manchester United manager.
Neville told Sky Sports: “I’ve been fortunate to spend time at Tottenham’s training ground, and for me he [Pochettino] feels like the ideal candidate.”Man United have tried managers who have won European cups, they’ve tried managers who have won multiple leagues.
Neville: “I said last season that the next manager of United should be Pochettino. Not because he’s done a good job at Tottenham. When you look at the values of United, you look at his use of young players. You look at the way in which he carries himself.” #mufc [Sky]

“My view is they need someone who meets the three key principles of the football club, and that is promotion of youth, entertaining football, and to win football matches.”

United will be getting a caretaker boss for rest of season and then want new full time boss in place for the summer.
For me, that means they are waiting for Pochettino— Dean Jones (@DeanJonesBR) December 18, 2018
