Amidst the optimism and positivity surrounding Manchester United, there are concerns about Erik ten Hag's ability to lead the team. Despite initial progress, there are doubts about his tactics and ability to adapt to the squad's strengths.
Among the bullish - or deluded, depending on your perspective - optimism and the clinging to positives after yet another derby day humiliation, there was a telling admission that does not bode well for Erik ten Hag's reign at Manchester United .
The end of the club's trophy drought and the eventual securing of a return to the Champions League were tangible proof that the club was finally heading in the right direction again. With his feet firmly under the desk and progress being made in less-than-ideal circumstances, the new season should see United kick on further and move closer to how Ten Hag wants his teams to play.
Ten Hag has had time, money and the freedom to sign who he wants but after Sunday's 3-0 loss to Manchester City came out with a damning statement. "Never. We will never play that football," he said when asked by ViaPlay when United will be able to play in the same way that his lauded Ajax team did. "Because those were different players. This is also not why I came here.
If that is the case, then he's surely as good as written the death warrant for his Old Trafford reign. If Ten Hag is no longer building towards turning United into a passing, attacking side, what exactly is he doing?
