Pochettino Might Replace Erik ten Hag At MUFC – Gary Lineker

Ex England international, Gary Lineker has come out to list potential Erik ten Hag replacements at Manchester United. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, he was shocked to see Pochettino leave Chelsea despite their strong finish in the EPL, and he sees the possibility of the Argentine replacing Erik ten Hag at MUFC.

Gary added that the sacking did not make any sense but it was clear that all wasn’t well between both parties.

His words, “There were a few rumours about Pochettino and he said a few things that made you think all was not well at Chelsea. But I just couldn’t believe it [his sacking]. It doesn’t make any sense. In terms of Pochettino, the way they finished the season, and his position as a coach, I don’t think that’s gone down at all in people’s minds, I think he’ll be fine and will get a good job. I’m tempted to say possibly Manchester United but we don’t want to upset Erik or the United fans again!”

Shearer added on Poch, “He’s better off out of there. He’s a good man and a good coach, he will get a really good job somewhere. That is the very, very best he could have done when you look at where they finished. He got them to a final and a semi-final and back into Europe. I honestly don’t think he could have done any better than he did. It’s just a mad football club. There must have been a fall-out but whoever goes in there can never complain about what goes on because you take that job knowing it’s a bit of a mad football club.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
