Transfer News: latest on Bruno Fernandes
Ole Gunnar Soskjær will think and say that his job is safe and rationally speaking, you’d probably agree with that. He speaks with confidence when talking about his long-term plans at Manchester United and as opposed to his three predecessors, you do get the feeling that the club are willing to endure an extended period of loss before hopefully seeing success.
Time is of the essence though. Time is not something managers have a lot of these days. David Moyes was supposed to be United’s next Sir Alex Ferguson – that lasted just 10 months. Louis van Gaal was supposed to revolutionize Manchester United into a ruthless Total Football machine but ended up being more reminiscent of Sam Allardyce’s finest hour. And the less said about José Mourinho’s up-and-down career at United the better.
So, have United actually improved in the 13 months that Solskjær has been in charge? You could make cases for both sides but according to reports, Manchester United have held talks with former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino over the position.
Alfredo Pedulla, well-known now after his precise coverage of the Dybala saga in the summer, boldly claims that United have spoken to both Mauricio Pochettino and Max Allegri in regards to taking over the club in the summer.
According to the report, talks with Pochettino are more advanced than with Allegri but that the Argentinian is asking for ‘guarantees in the market’ before making a decision. It has been widely speculated whether Pochettino has rejected other jobs since his Spurs dismissal due to his interest in United.
