I can't shake the feeling that he's just another flavour of the month. I'm kind of surprised that he's so many United fans' no.1 pick.
I think he basically ticks every box whereas Conte, Zidane and the like tick just a few.
- Young-ish, up and coming
- would likely stay for the long term
- speaks English
- plays attractive football
- promotes youth
- actually coaches his football players
I guess Conte has PL proven on his CV but Ten Hag has won honours too. I know some are put off because he’d cost a fee, but he’d get the best out of Van De Beek - that’s 35m saved for a start.
