Imagine Poch got the job!Quite incredible the difference Ten Hag has made in 2 weeks, can't wait to see what we will look like in 6 months!
I shudder to think what we'd have looked like had Rangnick been given the job permanently like some were asking for.
I would say that if Ronaldo were to play, ETH will use him as the anchor point for the frontline attacks, where he will act as the "distractor" to bring in the other 2 forwards. He will also get Ronaldo to be last man for long balls, crosses or through passes to finish off the team's attack.Wasn’t trying to make it into a Ronaldo bashing thread. Was talking about Ten hag and the way he’s getting us playing and the decision he has to make to get us playing this style of football.
Agree. I like his abillity to understand and motivate the players. This will be key when rotation and injuries starts to come in.The thing that excites me about ETH (without getting too carried away obviously!) is how his coaching and tactical setup has the ability to unlock players like Sancho who was *okay* last season, but wasn't anything near what we'd seen of him in Germany.
New signings are important, but probably the most important job Ten Hag has to do this season is rejuvenate the players we already have, we can't have any measure of success without those members of the squad stepping up and raising their game.
You're forgetting about MoyesFinally a manager at Manchester United with authority and of a high caliber.
Same, I haven’t even noticed Bruno that much as he seems to have cut out those Hollywood ballsI love how every player is playing for the team, like a team. Everyone's first instinct is to pick player in better position, it's fun to watch.
He kept it simple all the time and kept the ball moving. It was good to see him play like that. No Hollywood passes at all.Same, I haven’t even noticed Bruno that much as he seems to have cut out those Hollywood balls
Wait till ronaldo returns.I love how every player is playing for the team, like a team. Everyone's first instinct is to pick player in better position, it's fun to watch.
Grimm!Imagine Poch got the job!
He is one of the best playmakers in the world currently. His only problem is that he can tend to go into "hero" mode when he feels the game isnt moving but with the players taking up the right positions, he no longer needs to go into that mode.Same, I haven’t even noticed Bruno that much as he seems to have cut out those Hollywood balls
Yep. Ship out Ronaldo, get in Antony.In all fairness, the front 3 is what we thought we were getting a few seasons back when we were trying to sign Sancho. Fluid, fast, movement, touch. ETH has upped the work rate. It’s the way forward…I have no doubts. Not necessarily with that specific personnel but that system. Players stepping in need the same work rate and ability to take the ball in tight spaces and find the right pass. In short, Ronaldo can get fecked. You can see why we were looking at Antony in this system.
Wait till ronaldo returns.
Imagine Poch got the job!
Ole can be abit sarcastic and blunt but ETH is like a army general who can drive the answers into you. Not since SAF have we seen a manager who can potentially create fear within the media.I like the way he deals with the media, takes no nonsense, short and sharp answers. Give a stare if asked the same question a 2nd time
Boxes ticked for pre season thus far. Building fitness, team cohesion and getting the players integrated into the manager's philosophy
Must be a Dutch thingOle can be abit sarcastic and blunt but ETH is like a army general who can drive the answers into you. Not since SAF have we seen a manager who can potentially create fear within the media.

In fairness Poch, he would have been a huge upgrade on Rangnick but he's not on Ten Hag's level.Imagine Poch got the job!
LVG! Haha you have a point there.
Is Charlie McNeill a possible understudy to Martial or is he too raw?What a breath of fresh air! Obviously we need to see how the players and staff handle adversity but all the noises coming out sound like the players are United. I really hope we can get rid of Ronadlo and get an understudy to Martial with world class potential and we are back to looking pretty set for the next while apart from midfield.
I didn't watch most of the game, but managed to watch a bit. One time, his scream could be heard "[Insert name] what the feck are you doing?" I didn't quite catch who was it at the end of that scream. It was towards the end of the game, so could be one of the younger players.Screaming at our players while 3 - 1 up in a pre-season friendly, this is what we like to see.
