Former Manchester United striker Teddy Sheringham has explained why he believes Mauricio Pochettino would have been a better Old Trafford appointment than Erik ten Hag.
The Dutchman was finally announced as the club’s new boss last week and will take charge of the team on a three-year contract in the summer. The 52-year-old was the clear frontrunner in the end but Pochettino was initially among those in consideration for the job.
United fans indicated Ten Hag was their preferred choice with many going off the idea of Pochettino after he failed to get a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain team past the last 16 of the Champions League. However, Sheringham was not one of those.
