Who will replace Mourinho in Man Utd?

On Tuesday, Manchester United official website notified the public that Jose Mourinho is fired from the post of the team’s head coach. Now the Red Devils are looking for the Portuguese’s replacement, which may even be Mauricio Pochettino.

Under Mourinho’s wing Manchester United didn’t manage to win the championship title in England, having content with winning the England Super Cup, League Cup and Europa League. This season, the team is occupying 6th place, having 26 points in the asset and missed one goal more than last season in the Premier League. The last straw of patience for the Manchester bosses was the defeat of the Red Devils to Liverpool with a score of 3:1 at Anfield.

Now bookmakers argue about who will be the next head coach of the team from Old Trafford. Among the candidates the name of Arsene Wenger is even present, although the coefficient for this transfer is 20/1.

Plausible options are Michael Carrick and Leonardo Jardim, 10/1 and 9/1, respectively. Zinedine Zidane, who was tied to Manchester United since the summer, is in second place with the odds of 4/1. The leadership was taken by Mauricio Pochettino, who now heads London Tottenham - 2/1. Regarding the Argentine’s candidacy, former defender of Man Utd Gary Neville spoke in an interview with Sky Sports,

“I got an opportunity to observe Tottenham’s training and I think that he [Pochettino] is an ideal candidate. Manchester United previously chose managers, which won European tournaments and numerous trophies.

I think they need a specialist, which adheres to three key principles: trust to young players, bright football and victories.”

Pochettino is a great option for Man Utd. A manager with experience in the Premier League, building an attacking game and defense. The main reason for the lack of trophies in the record of the Argentine - insufficient funding from the club management. The Red Devils are able to give the carte blanche to the coach to purchase the necessary players who will be able to fight for the crown of the Premier League.
