Man Utd hero Paul Ince reveals Ole Gunnar Solskjaer worry, makes Mauricio Pochettino claim

Solskjaer was made Manchester United caretaker boss in December and has won all eight of his games in charge.

The former Norway international has proven his doubters wrong with away victories over Tottenham and Arsenal along the way.

However, Paul Ince has claimed that it’s not easy to appoint a manager on the basis of results alone.

“When someone comes in and does what he has done, winning eight games and got Burnley on Tuesday to make it nine, you are always going to get fans clamouring to make him the permanent replacement to Jose Mourinho,” Ince told talkSPORT.

“It doesn’t always work like that. Man United is a massive, massive club and it is easy to appoint someone just on the basis of results.

“Listen, don’t get me wrong he has certainly made Ed Woodward think about who is going to be the next manager but it is a big, big job.”

Mauricio Pochettino has been heavily linked to the top job at Old Trafford, despite failing to win a trophy during his time in England.

Ince added: “I know there are Man United fans that want Ole and if they keep winning games, gets into fourth place in the Premier League, gets into the final of the Champions League then I’m sure he will be a strong candidate.

“I would like to see someone like Pochettino with a bigger budget and with a bigger squad.

“What he has done at Tottenham has been fantastic and incredible but Ole has to be up there too.”

Pochettino’s Tottenham started the season well but were knocked out of both the FA Cup and the Carabao Cup this week.

Ince added: “How far can he take Tottenham? We’ve seen in the last two games without Kane, Ali and Son they are not the team that they are and haven’t got the strength in depth to win games.

“Pochettino wants to compete, he has said it today.

“It’s not just about winning cups, competing for the top four, competing for the title and that’s where he is at and if he hasn’t got the strength in depth, as you see with Liverpool now, he won’t have it and will go whether it is to Manchester United or Real Madrid.”
