Steve MacLaren just sounds like a proud father. I guess he must've been seeing his assistant become one of the best managers in the world

The media never work based on facts, but purely on agenda. That's why.
His cover photo is with his idol Poch, so probably. He blocked me when replying to a tweet after the Brentford game.

For me it's after the match against Spurs I think. We played probably the best football I've seen at United since such a long time that I had to watch the whole match again. Also the tremendous progress we had made before that match.
this tweet cracks me up, every time:
The boner the British media have had for Pochettino is nothing short of remarkable. He's a good, solid manager but that's it really.
Pochettino was probably Ed Woodward's first choice but he had long since left United by the time they were looking for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent replacement.
At best, I think Pochettino was 3rd on United's list for a new manager behind Erik Ten Hag and Luis Enrique in that order.
Yeah totally agree, it was complete domination in every aspect and gives us a sense of the true potential of an EtH team when he has had another window or two to get the right players in.
For me, I remember watching that game and thinking that this should be a blueprint going forward. We haven't quite managed those levels consistently because of the number of games we've had, injuries and suspensions etc. But I think if we recruit right in the areas we need to, we'll see those types of performances as the norm.
Hell yeah mate
Watched that tifo football video again, it's clear what the blueprint going forward is
Love that. All hail ETH.
I was driving to work today and ‘Either Way’ by The Twang was on the radio.
“I feel so much better today / he’s changed the way we play”
Bit of poetic licence with the lyrics but it sums up the change of mood.
Cmon it’s worth a rendition on the Stretford End

Agreed.
It did seem that the two candidates were EtH and Luis Enrique at the end. But I do believe that if the ESL fiasco never took place, then Ed Woodward would still be at the club and Pochettino would currently be our manager.
Pochettino's being United manager ended once Woodward left.
The guy is a miracle worker. I also called it in December 2021 so technically I'm a footballing jeanyus now.
"The ball is round" - Erik ten Hag.
Very true and a great book.

Erik ten Hag dodges 'mines set by Cristiano Ronaldo' as friends lift lid on Man Utd reign
Erik ten Hag brought home Manchester United's first piece of silverware in six years last weekend but his time at Old Trafford hasn't been plain sailing as two close confidants detail

I remember Clemens Zwijnenberg from his FC Twente days. Good to see prominent Dutch players supporting our manager.
You might enjoy this guys
You talk about expensively assembled squads and mention 3 players that cost nothing.
That's not contradictory.
He's doing a brilliant job but the likes of De Gea, Varane, Lisandro, Shaw, Casemiro, Bruno, Rashford are some of the best players in their position in the world.
It's not genius or wizardry, it's just high competence.
My manager is doing the work no matter what it takes
He‘s on mine.
He is trolling for sure
He seems to have brought discipline and accountability in the dressing room, which was missing for far too long.
As a Dutch follower of English football i am very happy EtH didn't go to Spurs and went to Utd instead. I was saying it to my best friend who is a Ajax fan for years, EtH is the best (upcoming) coach our nation has, he is a winner. He is obsessed with winning, loves attacking and passionate football, focused and good with youth players (from Ajax experience).. c'mon the guy oozes United. He also is seen as a great motivator, you could see the passion and believe within the Ajax squad he managed aswell. Passion for the badge, for team mates, attacking positive football, clever man management, it was really missing at the club. Being just the way he is Erik always would have got more appreciation at United than at Spurs, it's just a better fit, for Erik aswell.
Liverpool 7:0 Man Utd
His persistence with playing Weghorst is similar to van Gaal's obsession with Rooney. He is literally playing our two best attacking players out of position to accommodate championship level player and make him look better than he is.
Terrible tactics. Wasted 80m on Antony. Dalot useless.
Now Liverpool are only 7 points behind us after a terrible season. We are miles off the top.

It is weird and I have never seen anything like that. Van Gaal’s obsession with Rooney was weird but at least Rooney was United’s captain and a legend.
Weghorst is an absolute nobody that on merit even Elanga should start ahead, let alone Sancho or Garnacho. To sacrifice Rashford’s and Bruno’s position so a player who is good at literally nothing is absolutely crazy. It is hurting us a lot, cause a) he is completely shit and b) Rashford and Bruno are half the players in these other positions.
The game is not over yet.
However this WW experiment as false footballer needs to stop asap.

Big test now but he's been pretty good all season in these situations
False footballer is the best description of him I’ve ever seen and perfectly accurate.
An attack with Weghorst & Antony is not going to score many goals. Needs to change it ASAP.
Too much tinkering with players who aren't versatile enough for it.
What
still a bit to learn from him but that was very much obvious when we signed him. fully agree he's fecking up being stubborn and false Wout was given too many tries
You post consistent utter shit.
Calm down.
Rashford, Bruno and Weghorst are not playing on their favorite position, although for the latter, he should not even be part of the squad considering how bad he is.What
