Henry Winter believes Mauricio Pochettino is passing a very long test to become the United manager.
“He has to be in contention. The first thing he did was change the mood. Talking to people, being human, being civilised, some of the things that Mourinho lost his touch on. He brought the humanity back to Carrington and Old Trafford. He brought the smiles back to the place. His arm around the shoulder got the players playing again.”
“But I think the most significant thing is tactically. I think everybody thought Solskjaer would come and bring the warmth back, everyone will play with a smile, but actually they’re playing with intelligence.”
“If this is a very long audition until the end of the season, I think he’s passing, he’s getting call-backs in theatrical terms. Audition after audition. He should be respected as a tactical coach as well as emotional coach.”
“United are playing with the hand-brake off and Rashford is the symbol of that. He is developing because he has this hunger to learn, and a tactical intelligence to play a range of positions.”
“Every decision he has made so far has been right. There will be bumps in the road and bigger tests to come, but if there is an audition going on, he’s winning it.”
