Man United beating Newcastle was a summation of everything good about them since Erik ten Hag took over and new owners would be fools to alter course. twoht
their EFL Cup final win against Newcastle UnitedThe warm-up came with the 2-1 win against Barcelona three days earlier. It may have been the Europa League rather than the Champions League, but to beat this particular club at this particular moment was a potent reminder of Manchester United’s self-image, a perfect pick-me-up ahead of a cup final against a club whose aversion to silverware over the last 70 years has easily been as great as United’s greed.
The key to Manchester United’s resurgence this season has been a combination of factors coming together at the right time. Recruitment since Ten Hag arrived has been superb. Casemiro might be 31 years old – so, what, he may only have another years left in him? – and there is always reason to wonder why when Real Madrid are happy to sell a player, but there can be little questioning the influence he holds over the team on the pitch. Christian Eriksen was an absolute steal on a free transfer.
Conversely, the effect of getting rid of the disruptive elements within the playing squad cannot be understated. Manchester United have been a tighter unit this season and have not missed Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard or Dean Henderson, while the Cristiano Ronaldo saga reached a conclusion which ultimately couldn’t have been better for the club.
