Erik Ten Hag was actually taking Manchester United to relegation is good they sacked him Manchester United form has drastically increase after they sign Ruud van Nistelrooy as acting couch.
The first half result doesn't come as a surprise to me after all Manchester United has beaten them in the carabao cup winning them 5-2.
After previously the management took too long in firing Ten Hag, now they are starting to speculate that if they had fired him sooner, perhaps Manchester United would not be in the slump they are in now. Since Ten Hag left, Manchester United have returned to winning ways, so what has been achieved now further strengthens the assumption that Ten Hag is indeed incapable of handling Manchester United.
Despite Van Nistelrooy status as a caretaker coach, he was able to turn the anxiety on the fans' faces into more enthusiasm again. The style of play that Manchester United are currently showing is very different from before, they are more effective in creating and taking advantage of opportunities.
