Can Kovac help Manchester United bounce back?
Niko Kovac has managed big clubs like Bayern Munich in the past, and there is no doubt he has the credentials to succeed at Manchester United. It will be interesting to see if the 54-year-old can bring out the best in the Manchester United team and help them bounce back strongly.
Manchester United have done well to improve the team with quality players, but their choice of a manager has not been ideal. They need someone who can maximise the potential of the current squad. Kovac has worked with limited resources in his career, and he could be an interesting acquisition.
Manchester United has not won major trophies in recent years. They have been going through a period of rebuilding for several years, and the Croatian tactician will be under a lot of pressure if he takes over. He will be expected to guide them to a trophy immediately and help them return to the top of English football.
It will be interesting to see if the 54-year-old can live up to the expectations if the deal goes through. Manchester United have the resources to bring in quality players, but the expectation to win trophies will be high. He will be expected to make an immediate impact. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
