[Henry Winter] New head coach, old ritual: exciting headlines about glamourous new signings, running stats magically improving and players wanting to stay. You can guarantee it’ll happen as Mauricio Pochettino arrives at Manchester United. Pochettino is an excellent choice. (..)
Best in class. Players and staff will like him and his staff (great bunch). United fans will give him a chance because that's what they do with managers and, besides, their anger is aimed at owners.
But unless Pochettino wrests recruitment away from Jason Wilcox, the problems will continue. Huge squad overhaul required, ins and outs, and that requires judicious choices by an experienced football man like Pochettino - and significant funds. Time for United to go for best in class with signings.
