Poch needs backing to bring success

Pochettino’s hunger can rub off on United, but only if he has the cash.

Poch needs backing to bring success

Mauricio Pochettino and Manchester United could be a perfect match, despite their age and past struggles. Both have faced adversity and believe they haven't received the opportunities they deserved. United is eager to bring Pochettino on board, while he is keen to return to the big leagues after a successful stint at Tottenham Hotspur.

However, some at the club, notably CEO Omar Berrada and Football Director Jason Wilcox, believe they should look beyond the usual suspects and consider this "much-maligned" manager. Pochettino has the hunger of a younger manager and the respect of players, which could make him a good fit for United's young squad. His greatest challenge may be securing the necessary funds to turn the current weak squad into a title-winning team.

Despite the odds, there's still a strong chance that this "Hail Mary" appointment could pay off, given the current state of United and the manager's track record of success at other clubs.
