He strikes me as the kind of manager where no result or performance cant be improved upon. Its brilliant.
Identity means jack shit if it's boring and leads to nothing. Luckily for us neither is true now.First time since LVG I've actually seen an identity in our football game
Yeah didn't say anything about that identity being good, didn't enjoy that period of football.Identity means jack shit if it's boring and leads to nothing. Luckily for us neither is true now.
I want to be careful with predicting the future, but the period starting from game week 3 and up until now is the best it's been since Fergie retired.
Erik's ultimate real testI'm excited for the City game next week. Will be the ultimate test of where we are at. We are flying in form, fitness with the group seems great, and the distractions are gone, and it's at Old Trafford. Hopefully no injuries next 2 games. Huge chance for a statement game against probably the best team in Europe.
That’s the only worry I have as well. The players and the fans are right behind ETH and I just hope the potential new owners don’t come in and disrupt that. It’ll just set us back to square 1 all over again. Needs to be backed financially and given the necessary time as you say.A bit worried the new owners would have their own plans for the manager post and look for the first opportunity to give him the boot. Hopefully they have more sense than that because this is the best manager we've had since Sir Alex and if given the necessary time & financial backing, he'd get us back where we belong.
That’ll mean a lot, coming from the fella who used to post on here about sniffing the seat of his nan’s wheelchair.i think the most interesting thing is that he’s bald yet i still respect him.
I mean league games. The only way to show we have truly come back is to string a series of the league game wins in a row. Say 10 wins. The next is the real challenge and I think we can get it done.We've won 6 in a row, them two meaningless friendlies in the middle, when most of the team were at the WC, don't count.
i’ve already emailed the club informing them of him being granted the freedom to sniff her seat any time that i’m not doing it. i can see a firm friendship blossoming from a shared passion.That’ll mean a lot, coming from the fella who used to post on here about sniffing the seat of his nan’s wheelchair.
We have had this debate the last time you said it.I mean league games. The only way to show we have truly come back is to string a series of the league game wins in a row. Say 10 wins. The next is the real challenge and I think we can get it done.
Main memory from last year was flaky players dropping the tools for Ole and not picking them up at all for Rangnick.Remember how dreadful we were last year? Remember the first two games and what they carried over? Ten Hag, you are a God, mate.
His first real test.Erik's ultimate real test

The best thing he could is to build some credit in the bank by winning a trophy or 2. But even that's not guaranteed - see Tuchel.A bit worried the new owners would have their own plans for the manager post and look for the first opportunity to give him the boot.

I definitely will accept a draw next week. That feeling when watching us achieve that many wins in a row has been lost for the past ten years. It’s a landmark really to show the winning mentality and mental strength. Under Sir Alex, it’s how we overcame Jose’s Chelsea and Pep’s ManCity when people felt they were unbeatable.We have had this debate the last time you said it.
Our longest ever winning streak in the Prem was 12 under Sir Alex. The improvement on the side is clear to see. If we draw next week that doesn't change this.
I'll be honest and say I'm not excited about the next 2 PL games at all - I'm not totally bricking it either, but at this point I feel we are favourites against any team bar City and Arsenal and alas, they're coming back-to-back. I feel we could have easily put a momentous run together if those 2 were further down the season.I'm excited for the City game next week. Will be the ultimate test of where we are at.

New owners would be silly to let him slip through their fingers, we've got potential contender to klopp and pep at the club. I'm not saying he definitely is that, but he definitely has the potential and tactical knowledge to get there. Part of what makes him exciting for me is not knowing what his ceiling is yet. Where as with the other managers we could get, we already know they aren't on that level.The fans are behind this man, the player are behind him as well. I just hope the potential new owners get behind him too. Give ETH the tools he needs to take us to the next level is all I ask. First time in a long time, there seems to be a clear visions & a blueprint on what a Manchester United manager is trying to achieve which isn’t something I’ve said in the past about his predecessors. It’s the part I’m absolutely buzzing to watch us play again which ain’t something I’ve said too often in the past.
Think about it the other way around: we make the effort to beat them and we have a highway to beat other teams while they have to drop pts between each others. The players have to be pumped for those games!I'll be honest and say I'm not excited about the next 2 PL games at all - I'm not totally bricking it either, but at this point I feel we are favourites against any team bar City and Arsenal and alas, they're coming back-to-back. I feel we could have easily put a momentous run together if those 2 were further down the season.
Either way, this team of ours is so effective at getting results that they could go and get 4 out of 6 points from those games, and if we manage that, well that's huge! On the other hand, it wouldn't be completely strange to come out with zero.
I'd be extremely pleased for this until I saw Ole 2nd and Moyes 3rd.Tweet

Given the state of the squad when he took over and the opposition he's faced in the league, that's a terrific record.
Very much on the right track and for the first time in years, it's clear for all to see what we're building and a new defined identity/playing style taking shape
