HE’S magic, you know, Mauricio Pochettino.

That’s what Spurs fans, like me, used to sing at White Hart Lane.

And Poch will need a magic touch to turn this Manchester United bunch into winners.

His tactical style has been similar from Espanyol to Southampton, Tottenham to Paris Saint-Germain and Chelsea to USA.

He loves width in attack, at Spurs provided by full-backs who bomb on.

That will be a red flag for United fans, bemoaning the board for not investing in full-backs this summer for the now-sacked boss Michael Carrick.

But Poch can adapt and he did that with Chelsea and the United States by only pushing one full-back forward in attack, possibly Patrick Dorgu, and tucking the other into a covering back three or into midfield.

This means he can still use “inside forwards” like Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo to cause chaos and get into shooting positions.

He had great success at Chelsea with Cole Palmer in this position.

But some things are about tactics and some are basic principles.

Poch demands fitness and runners — Dele Alli always led those stats for Spurs — and in defence, attacking players move infield to help the midfield two and create a congested mid-block shape.

The press, eventually, will be high and intense but perhaps that can wait, as there are more pressing matters.

Joshua Zirkzee could be another winner, with Poch liking a focal point in attack for his other forwards to play off — and for his pocket player to cross to from a deeper position.

Playmaker Bruno Fernandes, so key to every Red Devils manager over the past four years, was a player who Spurs wanted and didn’t get.

Where he fits into the Argentine’s shape will be key.

Expect him to have a freer role than under Carrick and interchange much more with Cunha and Mbeumo.
