The era of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has ended at Manchester United. After yet another shocking 4-1 loss to Watford, Ole bid goodbye to the club who now have 1 win in their last 7 games. Notably, fresh reports state that the favorite to land the Old Trafford job now, is current PSG boss, Mauricio Pochettino. However, will he leave Lionel Messi to coach Cristiano Ronaldo?

Mauricio Pochettino wants Manchester United job

The former Tottenham Hotspur boss is currently managing star-studded French side PSG. To no surprise, they are leading the Ligue 1 table and look set to win the title again. However, with the sacking of Solskjaer, many reports state that Pochettino is eyeing a return to the Premier League.

Even though the coach is focused on their tie against Manchester City, Sky Sports pundit and former United player Gary Neville spoke about the situation and how he feels.

“I think Mauricio Pochettino – although he’d never say it – would leave to come to Man Utd on a five-year deal tomorrow. He’ look at that group of players, he’d look at the club and he’d realise he’d probably be able to achieve more than he wants at Manchester United in terms of a project,” said Neville.

Will he get the best out of Cristiano Ronaldo?

If Poch arrives at Old Trafford, it would be a sensational appointment, surely. Back in 2019, Poch guided Tottenham Hotspur to the UEFA Champions League final, placing them on the world map. Even though he did not win anything significant with Spurs, he laid the foundation then to make Spurs a part of the ‘Big 6’ today.

Currently coaching Messi at PSG, the prospect of managing Cristiano Ronaldo would be a mouthwatering idea. Undoubtedly, Ronaldo will benefit massively under Pochettino’s counter-attacking approach. However, his pressing style is something that will be a cause of concern for CR7.

During the Ole era, Ronaldo’s lack of pressing was evident, causing the team to lose shape. Given how Poch focuses on high-intensity pressing, Ronaldo’s lack of work rate might hamper his progress.

What do you think, is Poch the right man for the job, despite Ronaldo possibly not fitting his playing style?
