Next manager must have the personality and CV to convince

The questions Manchester United must ask their managerial candidates:

Q: 1. What do you consider your greatest achievement?

There’s no getting away from it. David Moyes didn’t even have the medals to rival Tom Cleverley, let alone Rio Ferdinand. It matters. A squad are far likelier to believe in a manager — particularly if they suffer poor results at first — if he has a proven record of long-term success. Stand-out achievements also genuinely dazzle players as much as fans. You only have to look at the way Zlatan Ibrahimovic, of all people, is in awe of Jurgen Klopp.
