Poch’s PSG job takes the pressure off Ole - Saha
LOUIS Saha says Mauricio Pochettino’s impending appointment at PSG takes the pressure off Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The former Tottenham Hotspur boss is set to be appointed as manager of last season’s beaten Champions League finalists following last week’s sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
For the short-term at least, Pochettino’s move to PSG will bring to an end consistent reports linking him with United.
Former Reds star Saha believes that takes the pressure off Solskjaer.
Speaking to Ladbrokes, the French forward said he is a fan of the Reds boss but wants to see more passion from the manager on the touchline.
He said: “I like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and it seems like he has a good bunch of guys who really like playing under him. I look at the team as a fan and sometimes wish he’d be a bit more demanding as a manager. I don’t feel like he does that enough.
“But his body language in the last few games has been way better so I’m looking forward to this maybe being a turning point.
“I really like seeing Ole on the touchline when he’s loud and demanding, because you can see his players do respond to it.
“Mauricio Pochettino going to Paris Saint-Germain might actually take a bit off pressure off Solskjaer at United.
“It’s true that every time you have a bad result as Man United manager you’re going to be under pressure. It even happened with Sir Alex Ferguson.
“He achieved some of the greatest things in football and he’d still have to answer questions about his future after a couple of bad results. So it’s natural this will happen with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer too - he just has to get used to it.
“But I feel like the board have full confidence in Ole.”
