After Cristiano Ronaldo left the team, the team managed to get back to its original rhythm. Right now Manchester United is in great form. The team managed to secure victory in most of the matches.
I think that much more important than the departure of Ronaldo was the arrival of a new coach who united the team, prepared them well and raised the level of their game.
Manchester has not had such a good coach and strategist for a long time and Manchester finally acts as a serious club that knows what it wants and has a plan and vision to achieve it.
Their victory against Barcelona and great games in the English championship are not accidental, but the result of serious work and preparation.
For me, Manchester is now one of the main favorites to win this competition.
No doubt we can say right now Erick ten Hag is right person on right job as Manchester United and just after his arrival we have exit of Cristiano Ronaldo which was surely had negative impact on teams performance for last few seasons and no one was having anything to stand against him but new coach done good work and talk with management which works for them, and now they are on right track for having golden days back after few years of bad performance hopefully now in next few months we will have better things and positive results which will give more excitement to fans and this club will be able to bring more trophies here at Old Trafford.
Victory against Barcelona and then having EFL Cup win surely double booster for the fans and players which are now going to be more energetic and try their best for achieving better results because now things are changing and environment is also positive in this club for doing good jobs in all departments.
