Was Manchester United right to choose ten witches?"I wish I could go with Pochettino" remains a pity.
Football is about timing. Sometimes it's a matter of time. I don't believe the train will only pass once. I think sometimes you have to have the necessary patience and know how to wait. The timing is in the hands of footballers. Mauricio Pochettino was offered a position at Manchester United in November 2022 and Erik ten Hag was hired before him when his unhappy career at Paris Saint-Germain was coming to an end. That's how he felt about being sent off. Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Poche has long been considered the best choice for Manchester United, but United chose the Dutch boss who surprised the board during the interview process. Yes, Manchester United beat Chelsea. However, it feels like the two teams are transforming and slowly going in opposite directions. Old Trafford may regret Pochettino's absence as Ten Hague is still struggling.
What has become clear in recent weeks and months is that the two managers have taken very different approaches to man-to-man management, which is starting to have an impact on Ten Witches. If recent reports are to be believed, he will be the latest Manchester United manager to 'lose confidence in the dressing room'. This is likely to be largely attributed to the toughness he took in 2022, which he himself admits will be "tough". To be fair, the players present a lot of challenges for the coaches. While they managed to survive Cristiano Ronaldo's departure, their treatment of Sancho and Antony was closely watched. The former did not apologize despite the use of abusive language on social ** in September and remained ostracized. The latter is welcomed despite being at the center of an ongoing investigation into domestic violence. Pochettino, on the other hand, is considered a perfect coach who is close to his players and provides them with everything they need to succeed every step of the way. When a player needs to be disciplined, the interaction is not public. Earlier in the season, Noni Madueke was photographed going out for the night despite his injuries, which caused his outrage, but the impact has been kept to a minimum. In fact, it is said that even after Ten Hag took over, the players remained "Pochettino fans".
