Jamie Redknapp isn’t convinced ‘serial underachiever’ is the right man to bring the glory days back to .
The Red Devils are on the hunt for a new manager with PSG boss Pochettino and manager Erik ten Hag both being interviewed for the permanent job in the summer.
Interim boss could only guide his side to a 1-1 draw with Leicester this evening that left his side facing an even tougher task of finishing in the top four.
Redknapp is unsure former Tottenham boss Pochettino can bring trophies back to United though with the new manager first needing to address the ‘fractured’ dressing room.
‘They need to get the right manager in, Pochettino has been a serial underachiever as much as I like him,’ former Liverpool midfielder Redknapp told Sky Sports.
‘Can he go and do it at Manchester United? There’s no real belief that he can.
‘Ten Hag’s done a great job at Ajax where you should really win the league, you’ve got the best players.
‘So, it’s not going to be easy, and as much as it’s the manager getting them right, it’s also that personnel.
‘I always think you look at certain clubs and you go “I’d love to be in that Liverpool dressing room working with those players.
‘”I’d love to be working at City with the players there.”
‘I look at that United dressing room and I think that looks fractured. I think there’s a few poisonous characters there that could cause problems.
‘I wouldn’t want to be in there. I don’t think that’s a dressing room that’s pulling together.’
Spurs fans will likely disagree with Redknapp’s take on Pochettino given the Argentine took Tottenham to the Champions League final and finished second in the league before joining PSG and winning Ligue 1.
