In my opinion, Ten Hag has provided something quite positive. Even though it couldn't be said to be perfect, but what Ten Hag did could bring Man United to good progress. It is indeed quite difficult to shift Man City's dominance in the Premier League but that doesn't mean that Man United doesn't have the chance to make it happen. If Man United can get a world-class striker, I think they will make good achievements this season.
Yeah Ten Hag was called successful in its first season although not as a winner but in 3rd place is a good achievement, Pep Guardiola in his first season also finished in 3rd place then in season 2 they could win the title so surprises could happen in the 2nd season, who knows. Ten Hag still has plenty of time until 2025 to build a Manchester United squad if he continues to be consistent I believe their chances are closer to the title. For this season Manchester United still need a new striker figure because with the current squad their strength is still difficult to compete with Manchester City, we know Manchester City is a complete team so to compete it takes a complete team as well.
Yes indeed, after all, we also cannot expect a quick success from Erik ten Hag for Manchester United. Because after all, Pep Guardiola is basically a top coach but still, Pep Guardiola also spent a lot of time to be able to make Manchester City have the excellent performance and dominance as it is today. Therefore, with Erik ten Hag can make Manchester United compete well in the top four in his first season. For me, that is already a success and of course, it is worthy for Erik ten Hag to continue his development to make Manchester United can have good dominance as well later.
