Manchester United has struggled to maintain managerial consistency since the retirement of Sir Alex Ferguson, with 11 different managers taking charge over the last 13 years.
Mauricio Pochettino, who recently oversaw Chelsea, is regarded as an elite manager. According to The Guardian, he holds one of the best points-per-game averages in Premier League history, trailing only the likes of Alex Ferguson, Arsène Wenger, José Mourinho, Jürgen Klopp, and Pep Guardiola among managers with over 290 matches. Opta projections suggest his Manchester United side will transition play upfield more rapidly than his previous Chelsea team.
The club's internal handling of personnel changes has faced scrutiny. Gary Neville described the management's conduct during the dismissal of Michael Carrick as poorly handled, labeling the situation as disgusting.
