Ten Hag is full of luck right now, because in any other year he will be sacked so much early and had no chance of stay in his spot.
But thanksfully for him Manchester United still in the bad moment for so many years, so the management dont want to change again the coach, they tried it before and no one bring any solution to the main problem, so they want now to keep him and give more chance to solidify a project.
Erik Ten Hag is a very tactically gifted coach. He knows how to tactically outclass a team and deliver good results.
Yes, he may not have been the best in the league, but he alone can't be blamed for this.
He had an injury-depleted squad, and a lot of his main players were out of form, out of luck.
He can also be criticized for his decisions in terms of transfer business, but again, that’s entirely not his fault either.
ManUtd has been lacking a proper Director of Football in the club, and good scouts too.
To maintain at the highest level, you need a fit squad and a lot more luck.
Maybe after the inclusion of Zirkzee and De Ligt, ManU would get back on track.
