Simon Jordan & Danny Murphy REACT to Man United FINALISING Mauricio Pochettino DEAL!

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

0:00Jim White introduces Ben Jacobs's report that United are finalising terms with Pochettino, rather than confirming an appointment.
0:54Murphy backs Pochettino because of his record of improving teams and working with top players.
2:04Jordan challenges the media briefings about Carrick's future while he remains in charge.
8:20Jordan argues that elite managerial negotiations require time and should not be dictated by outside pressure.
12:30United caller James prefers Antonio Conte and questions whether a new manager would bring lasting structural change.

Danny Murphy sees Mauricio Pochettino as a good choice for Manchester United. Simon Jordan has a more immediate concern: Michael Carrick should not be left doing the job while reports about his replacement fill the airwaves.

"If they want to remove Michael Carrick from the job, then remove him. Don't keep briefing in the media," Jordan says during talkSPORT's discussion with Murphy and Jim White.

White opens with Ben Jacobs's reporting that United are finalising terms with Pochettino. It is a discussion of an expected appointment, not an announcement from the club. Murphy argues that Pochettino's record of improving teams and working with leading players makes him a strong candidate.

Jordan's objection is less about the proposed successor than the process around him. He questions the leaks, but also pushes back against demands for instant decisions, explaining that negotiations for a leading manager take time. His position leaves room for both patience behind the scenes and a cleaner public handling of Carrick's future.

The segment drew roughly 341,000 views in 17 hours, already far beyond talkSPORT's usual first-day audience for a regular video. The comments are also unusually busy, with viewers discussing whether another managerial change can address problems in the squad and boardroom.

That question reaches the studio by phone, too. United caller James says he would prefer Antonio Conte and doubts whether the club's structure will change. Murphy's endorsement of Pochettino is only the starting point: the callers want to know what authority any incoming manager would actually have.

What viewers say

Poch was turning Chelsea around before he was unfairly fired in my view. Poch would have to insist on the last word on transfers. He would also have to insist on the boards support if he decided to take on the bad attitudes in the changing room. He would also have to get a minimum guaranteed time to work....

Danny Murphy is worth listening to, he's very measured and knows a thing or two about football.
