I think Manchester United are experiencing the Ten Hag effect, I will clearly agree that Erik Ten Hag has impacted positively to the team with his disciplinary measures, his tactics and style of play is now proving productive which we can obviously see on the team's outstanding performance lately, the most surprising part of it for me is how well he has transformed Marcus Rashford to be more lethal in front of goal.
I've said it in many posts. if at Bayern there is Nagelsmann, at Man United there is Erik Ten Hag.
He was able to bring United in a relatively short time to compete at the top four Premier League level. although at the start of the season United did experience some problems, the fact is that Ten Hag was able to bring The Red Devils to 4th place in the Premier League. in fact, if United are able to overthrow Manchester City in this ongoing match. that way, Newcastle's ranking will be shifted by The Red Devils.
especially if this January, Ten Hag actually brought in one of the attacking midfielders. I think United will again be one of the strongest challengers in the Premier League. so, it's not an easy matter for Barcelona to overthrow United in the playoffs later. except, if Erik Ten Hag is not so ambitious to win a trophy in this competition.
