Did you see him with Casemiro - he pointed at him in the chest as though to say "I told you if you come here we will win things". Also loved seeing him with Antony at the end with his arm round him. Clearly he knows his confidence is fragile at the moment and he needs to send him to the Kung Fu Panda maestro who sorted Sancho's head out over Christmas/New Year. Right at the moment of his triumph he was still thinking about his team and motivating them.Players from other clubs must be watching and thinking they want to get in on this. In the same way Klopp and Pep were totemic figures for their clubs, Erik is going to have players queuing up wanting to play for him.
I fecking love this team

And we got massively criticised by the likes of Redknapp, Merson etc for not appointing Conte when we had the chance after Ole’s sacking.Can’t believe Spurs didn’t hire him They Spurs’d it right up.
Would love to see Chris Sutton's face.And we got massively criticised by the likes of Redknapp, Merson etc for not appointing Conte when we had the chance after Ole’s sacking.

Just saw this comment on the Guardian; loved it:
"I cannot get my head around the job Erik ten Hag's done. That club was a circus, and the team a joke. A laughing stock. Every single player who went there just disappeared. It was like the Bermuda Triangle of football. The decline had gone on, and on, and on... every last thing about Manchester United was wrong, on and off the pitch. Now look at them. The transformation is absolutely unbelievable.
"There's something old school about this team. Something hugely likeable. They're such a collective, they work fantastically hard for each other, and they are so, so united. Look at the joy on all those players' faces at the end. Look, too, at the hugely powerful connection they've re-established with the fans. Thursday night was a major statement; this one, even more so.

"A great, famous old football club are well and truly back."
Yes, yes we are.
Tears in my eyes
Lovely. If we make key additions while improving our posssesion play we could be some team considering the other aspects of our play - positional and tactical strength, transitional play, strong spine, and a mental fortitude not seen for awhileJust saw this comment on the Guardian; loved it:
