I knew it that the finals was a lucky win and not because Ten Hag has improved the team performance or he knew what he was doing, because it has shown clearly in the beginning of this season that the team performance did not improve.
Everyone knew the final was just luck for Manchester United, and there was no improvement in Manchester United. Even before the season started, I already knew Manchester United wouldn’t be performing well when the season started because they didn’t play anything serious during their preseason matches.
I agree with you that the title won by Man United is a pity title given by their city team Man City so it is not purely from their game in the Premier League, In fact, Man United's performance is very bad and the improvement is true that they have not changed significantly or tactically and in terms of the game there is no difference, even this season even though they bring in the most expensive players, they will still be a mediocre club this season, there is nothing special about this one club !!
I still think the major reason Manchester United won against Manchester City is because they played home game and it’s very rare any team beat United at Old Trafford despite their poor performance mostly when it’s a tough game.
They prefer to play better when facing good team for better result, with all this you’ll observe no improvement from the start, they only prepare when they feel like it’s a must to win and that’s very bad for the growth of the team. Manchester United needs more time to build their strategy since it’s the major target or else no better result.
