Ralf Rangnick.People still seem seduced by the fact Pochettino rode incredible luck to lead Tottenham to the Champions League final in 2019, instead of being more alarmed at how it all unravelled for him within six months and ended in the sack.The same thing is now happening in Paris, which leaves United CEO Richard Arnold having to now address one simple question: Is Pochettino qualified to be given the job of rebuilding United to become a major force in football once again?The answer is no.The situation at United is no so bad that Pochettino or Erik ten Hag are in a strong bargaining position should the fallen giants come calling.But this shouldn't happen, because if United are serious about being top dogs again they need a serious manager to help them do it.There will be one in the opposition dugout on Saturday in the shape of Tottenham's Antonio Conte, while Thomas Tuchel's future at Chelsea is now under a huge cloud following the unprecedented events regarding Roman Abramovich's ownership of the world and European champions.United need to think big, because the challenge ahead of them is an enormous one and with Chelsea now on the precipice, the German is there for the taking.And if Pochettino cannot get the better of a mediocre Real Madrid side, despite having the firepower of Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at his disposal, then he shouldn't even be in United's thinking at all, let alone be their No.1 choice.When Leeds United found themselves in the financial mire almost two decades ago, it brought out the best in some of their star names.A group of players decided to dip into their own pockets and help fund the cost of travelling to away games.This didn't prevent the Yorkshire club from going into administration.
