I remember writing a piece saying that Man Utd should hire Poch over Jose Mourinho and my opinion hasn't changed since. Erik ten Hag is really exciting for the club and their fans but I still think Poch was/is the man with the best chance of turning them around.

Prior to him, many top-quality managers like Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho served as the manager of Manchester United.
But no manager could give Manchester United a Premier League trophy following the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. Also, several players are expected to leave the Red Devils at the end of the season.
And if the English side cannot qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League, Erik ten Hag might find it difficult to sign players of his choice.
Is Erik ten Hag the right choice for Manchester United?
Erik ten Hag is one of the most talented managers in the world right now. But it will not be easy for him to take over as the Manchester United manager.
He has experienced glory with Ajax not only in domestic competitions but also in European competitions.
With ten Hag coming in, fans can certainly expect some changes in United’s style of play next season. Also, there might be a lot of new players coming into the Manchester United squad next season.
