Mauricio Pochettino would be another boneheaded move by Man Utd

Opinion piece arguing Pochettino's appointment would be a mistake given his recent record and Manchester United's structural problems.

A critical analysis of Manchester United's reported pursuit of Mauricio Pochettino as manager following Michael Carrick's departure. The piece argues that while Pochettino might have been an inspired choice a decade ago, his recent career has become unremarkable: a league title with PSG, sixth place and a cup final with Chelsea, and last-16 elimination at the World Cup with the US national team.

The article contends that Pochettino's tactical approach—aggressive pressing and explosive attacking full-backs—is incompatible with United's current squad, which lacks the pace and athleticism required.

It also criticizes United's decision-making process, noting this is the fifth permanent post-Ferguson manager to depart between late October and early January, and questions the timing of sacking Carrick just days after backing him and following a Champions League victory.
