Everything needs a process and Ten Hag is doing that with Manchester United.
What happened in the past was very much embedded in the character of Manchester United, so Ferguson's departure made this team lose direction and there was no manager who was able to continue what Ferguso had built and now Manchester United is being built in a different way and I see the progress continuing. to a better way.
Man City was also built using a long process, but they have strong enough finances to be able to make a strong team like now and for Manchester United I think the process and time they will go through will also produce results in the future.
Process? Erik ten Hag have been two season become Manchester United manager and I think he got more enough time after failure for second second make United finish outside from Champion League spot standings. Since Sir Alex Ferguson leaving his position, many manager get failure replacing him position and Manchester United not winning domestic league tittles yet with several manager replacement.
I see difference with Manchester City has short term process how to build good teams, Pep Guardiola since first time becoming Manchester City manager from season 2017/18 only one season miss for winning Premier League and The Citizen under Pep Guardiola won 5 of 6 season appearances. First season Pep Guardiola success winning premier league tittle and difference with some manager for Manchester United take long term for winning trophy.
