MANCHESTER – Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s fate as coach Manchester United is busy being discussed. The 1-6 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, October 4 2020, WIB, put Solskjaer’s future as Man United’s coach under threat.
According to reports Daily Mail, Man United’s management began to approach the coach from Argentina, Mauricio Pochettino. Man United’s chances of getting Pochettino are quite large, considering that since November 2019 Pochettino has not handled any club.

If it is true that Solskjaer is sacked and Pochettino is selected as the coach of Man United, the 48-year-old can bring his favorite player. The favorite player in question is a former foster child at Tottenham Hotspur, Harry Kane.
Pochettino is the first coach to give Harry Kane the opportunity to spearhead Tottenham Hotspur. In the 2014-2015 Premier League or Pochettino’s first season dealing with Tottenham, the Argentine coach gave Kane confidence to become Tottenham’s main striker.
The results were extraordinary. From 34 Premier League appearances 2014-2015, Harry Kane collected 21 goals! The 21 goals collection is only five balls adrift of the top scorer in the 2014-2015 Premier League season which was struck by Sergio Aguero (Manchester City).
The trust given by Pochettino made Harry Kane’s motivation to play increased. Evidently, Harry Kane came out as the top scorer of the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 Premier League.
The presence of Harry Kane at Old Trafford has made Man United revive the tradition, namely the Red Devils’ habit of relying on local attackers. When handled by Sir Alex Ferguson, Man United had excellent local attackers on behalf of Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney.

Andy Cole is one of the keys to Man United’s success in winning the treble winner in 1998-1999. Meanwhile, Rooney, don’t doubt the ability of the former Everton player.
Rooney is currently listed as Man United’s all-time top scorer. Recorded from 559 appearances in all competitions, Rooney collected 253 goals! Therefore, the presence of Harry Kane makes Man United fans recall the sharpness of Andy Cole and Wayne Rooney.

However, before getting there, it’s good to look forward to Man United’s management response regarding Solskjaer’s future. Currently in the midst of the issue of Solskjaer’s dismissal, management is also blaming each other for their failure to bring in Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund) in the 2020 summer transfer market.
Reportedly yesterday morning, Solskjaer requested a meeting with the vice president of Man United, Ed Woodward. Solskjaer asks for an explanation why Man United failed to bring Sancho. However, Woodward didn’t want to be blamed just like that.
He considered Joel Glazer and other Man United directors as the reason Man United failed to get Sancho. Joel Glazer is only willing to spend 80 million pounds, even though Sancho’s price is 108 million pounds.
