Ten Hag starts as manager tomorrow... fantastic he is coming so early so he can hit the ground running.
If he hits the ground running that is more than most of our players have achieved this season... He should put himself in the first teamTen Hag starts as manager tomorrow... fantastic he is coming so early so he can hit the ground running.
Thought he didn’t play youth?!Tweet

I think he will be converted into a CB.I reckon he might try McT at right back
As great and exciting as that was, I really hope not. Trying to rebuild what he had at Ajax with the same players eg De Jong, De Ligt etc would give me nightmares of Moyes’ window when he tried to sign half the Everton team.We're going to reunite that ajax team from 2018/2019 aren't we?
To be fair, his Ajax teams have been pretty good. Everton were a mid-table side. Also the players he's allegedly targeting are players who have attracted Europe's elite clubs e.g. De Jong currently starts for Barcelona. The Everton players Moyes was targeting could only dream of getting signed by elite European teams.As great and exciting as that was, I really hope not.

Look at Klopp, when he joined Liverpool he didn’t instantly go looking to raid Dortmund. Not did Pep at City go after Bayern players. A sign of successful managers is that they tend to start from scratch with each new job.
There’s no denying that when it comes to football he definitely knows what he’s talking about unlike people like OGS who never ever talked about tactics etc in press conferences. Ten Hag is going to need some help when he starts next season and there’s no better person then rangnick to help him since he knows what we need to succeed having been there for halve a season.
We are going to be in trouble pretty quickly, if Ten Hag starts giving out tactical information during his press conferences.There’s no denying that when it comes to football he definitely knows what he’s talking about unlike people like OGS who never ever talked about tactics etc in press conferences.

He was still in the job at the time. It was prior to the Watford gameWhat should a man who got fired do. Sit and look at the wall?
Strange comparison to say the least.
He was still with United at the time. It was prior the Watford gameAre you mad at Ole for not working for United after he got fired?
Actually i am celebrating eth's professionalism. He starts the job immediately. He doesn't feck off to a holiday in the middle of a crisis and I read that he doesn't even delegate training to others as he likes to do training himself.such a dumb and unnecessary comment. Can't we just enjoy the hope we have with ETH and not try and derail the thread with stupidity?
The club is a mess. He needs to make sure that everything is sorted prior to leaving the club. It also an opportunity to watch the squad in training including their fitness regime.guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off. I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism"
But at least we will know that ETH is some tactical genius then.We are going to be in trouble pretty quickly, if Ten Hag starts giving out tactical information during his press conferences.
Are you for real?guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off. I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism"
He is still going on holiday as planned. He's just quitting Ajax early, not joining their post season trip, to start immediately here. He'll go on holiday sometime in the next few weeks.guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off. I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism"
Because he's our manager and we are not in vacations.guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off. I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism"
He's not, though. Not yet.Because he's our manager and we are not in vacations.
fair enoughHe was still with United at the time. It was prior the Watford game
yeah that is more likely I supposeI think he will be converted into a CB.
The article literally just dropped an hour ago from Mike Verweij.Wasn't aware of that, thanks
Exactly this.Already a great start to the ETH era. Showing commonsense. Come in, set foundations for success, then go for a break.
Not crazy about the idea of McTom as defender, it should be noted that positioning is one of the areas where Ten Hag is particularily good at developping players individually. He uses a grid system he paints on the pitch, according to McClaren.yeah that is more likely I suppose
But I have a feeling ETH might like him for his attitude and his engine and try him as a RB, much to the dismay of this forum
but then, he’d need some serious work on his positional nous for it to work (he needs that anyway)
Have seen Pep doing the same to be honestWe are going to be in trouble pretty quickly, if Ten Hag starts giving out tactical information during his press conferences.
‘We zijn overeengekommen *** ik vanaaf 16 mei in dienst van Manchester United ben’
Sorry, misunderstood your post. Cheers.He was still in the job at the time. It was prior to the Watford game

OleSo who will be the manager against Palace then?
Ragnick.So who will be the manager against Palace then?
There are managers in football who are completely obsessed with football. They literally don’t care about anything other than football. I’m talking about Pep and Klopp here. There’s a reason they are monsters in the game. I’m hoping Hag is like this too.guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off. I don't know why this whole coming to Manchester early thing is being equated to "professionalism"
Not everyone is wired the same way. Can’t really enjoy your break if you have a lot of things nagging your mind in the background. Maybe he feels like he doesn‘t need a break, or that he wants to get some initial groundwork done before going off on a holiday so that things already progressing while he’s away.guy should just go on holiday and enjoy his time off.

because he wants to speak to the players, see training and speak to the management. If he does everything right, he rubber stamps the ins and outs for the summer over the next two weeks or so, and can then find two weeks for a holiday knowing that Murtough knows what he wants and just has to action it.Not everyone is wired the same way.

Either way, this is very promising for us fans. Shows he really wants to succeed and is willing to take that extra bit of responsibility to make sure of that.
Needs to convert him into a football player first.I think he will be converted into a CB.
