Neville Urges Pochettino to Demand Man United Defenders
Neville says Pochettino must insist on two new defenders in January and a set summer budget from Manchester United, or turn the job down. Read why.
With Mauricio Pochettino's name being linked with the Manchester United dugout, club legend Neville has offered the Argentine some blunt advice: set your terms firmly before saying yes to anything.
Two defenders in January
According to Neville, Pochettino's first demand should be that United bring in two new defenders during the January transfer window. The former United star clearly sees the back line as an area in urgent need of reinforcement if the next manager is to have a fighting chance.
A guaranteed summer budget
Neville did not stop at the winter window. He also argued that Pochettino should secure at least a defined, guaranteed budget for next summer's transfer market. The United great stressed that the Argentine coach must genuinely insist that the club's hierarchy meets every one of his requests, and that he should reject the offer to manage the team if those conditions are not satisfied.
His comments come as the future of the managerial position at Old Trafford remains one of the biggest talking points in the Premier League, with no official announcement yet made on who will lead the Red Devils going forward.
