Spurs manager, Mauricio Pochettino “looks like a Manchester United manager” according to Phil Neville.
The Argentine was long linked to the Old Trafford job before Ole clinched it for the next three years this morning.
Before today’s announcement, Neville expected such rumors to continue.
His words, “Three months ago Poch was the number one candidate. That’s changed now. I think Ole has overtaken Pochettino.
“I actually think if United drop off from now until the end of the season, Pochettino will be the number one candidate.
“If Solskjaer gets the job and United lose the first 10 games of next season, Pochettino will be the number one [to replace him].
“He looks like a Man United manager to me in terms of his whole philosophy.
“Pochettino over the next five years, I don’t think, will actually go away from the speculation of Man United.
“But Solskjaer has now raced ahead of the pack and is the number one candidate.”
“They have to give him the job. At this moment in time, it’s impossible not to give him the job.
“If you look at the fans, if they don’t give Solskjaer the job, I do think the fans will be really unhappy.”
