Gary Lineker believes Mauricio Pochettino could leave Manchester United within 18 months of becoming the club’s manager.
The former England striker questioned whether the Argentine would be able to succeed at Old Trafford, pointing to the number of managerial changes since Alex Ferguson left the club.
More than a dozen managers have taken charge of Manchester United during that period, Lineker said, yet the outcome has remained largely unchanged.
“He will go there, then become frustrated by how things develop in the future, and I would be surprised if he was still working there in 18 months,” Lineker said on The Rest is Football podcast.
Lineker added that the managers appointed by Manchester United since Ferguson’s departure had all been capable coaches.
However, he argued that the club’s decline could not be attributed solely to their work.
