Mauricio Pochettino is due to begin work as Manchester United’s head coach on Wednesday, with former Red Devils midfielder Andrei Kanchelskis expressing his support for the appointment.
Kanchelskis said Manchester United supporters wanted Pochettino to succeed, while also pointing to the demanding nature of management.
The former Manchester United player said coaching was an “ungrateful job”, with the manager routinely held responsible whenever a team fails to produce results.
Manchester United are currently 18th in the English league table. The club last won the title in the 2012/2013 season under Sir Alex Ferguson.
