However, according to information from Daily Mail, Mauricio Pochettino was the one chosen by Sir Alex Ferguson to lead the "Red Devils". Specifically, the Scottish legend believes that Pochettino will be the right person to revive MU, not Solskjaer, who has little coaching experience in top-flight football.
