Didn’t hear it my self but piers Morgan has just been on talk sport saying that ten hag needs to get down on one knee and apologies to ronaldo for the disrespect he showed him. Piers Morgan is such a tit

Mwahahaha such a plonker
Ronaldo still has a chance to win a Premier League medal with his one goal in 10 games, despite Morgan winding him up into the outburst that carried him out of the place.
If it happens, perhaps United can invite Morgan to be an intermediary in presenting it.
p.s. What special sanction does Morgan have for Vincent Kompany, who when Gary Lineker suggested signing Ronaldo for Burnley, said we need people who can run?

I love the man. Dare I say he gives me hope that we could see another SAF-esque era? Maybe 10-15ish years of it.
Oh wow ... Well, if you're about, take a bow!
I was so sick of hearing the word "rebuild" for the last decade. Every manager that came in after SAF asked for a few years for rebuild.
Last season we were so bad that we all felt that we were at least 3 to 4 years away from challenging and need another major rebuild after major rebuild. The rebuild was basically endless. Rebuild after rebuild.
This world class manager came in and never asked for any time for his rebuild. He came in against all odds and inherited the circus of a club we was, he totally transformed us to be one of the most exciting club again.
This guy is a miracle worker.

He identified the importance of leaders in the dressing room. Really it’s been mostly Bruno since he joined, then Varane last year. I don’t even count Ronaldo. You need a critical mass of them though, this is one of the things Keane mentioned upon joining United, every player around him was a massive personality. It was also the main reason things blew up for him at the end of his tenure at the club, when he felt those kinds of personalities were not being replaced when they left.
Now we’re looking at Bruno, Varane, Martinez, Casemiro, as the key personalities in the dressing room. Warriors who won’t let you hide. And it’s bringing other players up: Shaw, Rashford, Dalot, to name a few. But it’s everyone really. Who’s going to line up amongst those players and not pull their weight? Now Martial begging to play through injury at the weekend, who’d have thought it. The minimum level has been raised significantly from Maguire & Lindelof with Fred & McT in front.
OT. I believe it is for a reason. You can edit someone's quote by adding your media to it. Just plugging the loophole I guess.@Cheimoon Yes. Thank you. I know I can't post media but not being able to reply to a post containing media strikes me as a bit daft but here we are.
Yes, that’ll be the real one.
He has won 21 games so far. Last season we won 20 games in all comps.
Stolen from the Athletic

I would say Bayern too.
Cant remember where but there was an interview he did before he was chosen as manager for Utd. He mentioned Bayern as a one of the great clubs in the world. Having worked there in the past and just the way he said it gave me the impression that he had a fondness for them as well. I might be looking too hard into it.
I still think he will be here for a while because he seems like a guy that likes to challenge himself. He took this job knowing the clowns that were running it and the circus show we were putting on each week but he wasnt daunted by it. Even when we lost those two games at the beginning of the season he still did that Sky interview with Neville, that shows someone that doesnt shy away from a challenge but relishes it.
If Casemiro hadn't decide to join after ETH wasted the whole summer getting trolled by Barca, he'd be looking a lot less clever.
But he's doing an amazing job so who cares.

What I understand he wanted both. Casemiro had already agreed so Erik (and the press) concentrated on his pursuit of Frenkie
With what money?
We should've got Conte instead of Rangnick and just sacked him in the summer. You're under no obligation to keep the manager if you feel a better one is available at that time.
If he wasn't guaranteed the money he would not have pursued that much
Yeah to have that chance to go just 3 points behind a team well ahead in terms of development and with still another half of the season to go would be quite incredible
The Athletic reported that Rabiot AND Case were both targets after we moved on from De Jong.
Graeme Souness screaming into his bowl of porridge right now.
He may have wanted both but he wasn't gonna get both I would guess.
Just pure guess, if we had signed Frenkie, we wouldn’t have pursued Antony. Bruno would have spent a lot more time on the wing instead, with Casemiro/Eriksen/Frenkie running the midfield.
My guess would be borrowed money.
Well it's possible I suppose.
Has anyone considered the possibility that Jim Ratcliffe may not be into £100m transfers? The more I read about him, the more I feel he’s all about moneyball. That TERRIFIES me.
I suggest going on YT to watch the rest of them. He's quite good.
And the club is definitely fond of him too. Every time Bayern was looking for a new manager in recent years ten Hag was rumoured to be a candidate there as well, just hasn't happened so far.
It's mental how quickly things have turned around - no way would I trade Ten Hag for either Klopp or Guardiola
Fecking love this, our previous managers wouldn't see the game like this at all, they'd see Haaland and just stick the biggest CB we have against him (i.e. Maguire)
I hope we smash them silly, just for this prick's tears.
And 3 points, of course.
And 3 points, of course.
I remember wanting Conte because we got Ronaldo - I felt there's no way a team of Ronaldo, Cavani, Pogba, Bruno, Fred, Maguire, AWB, and DDG could suit ten hag, but it was perfect for Conte to build a pragmatic base with a sharp talented frontline.
Guess I was right about the incompatibility (for most of them), but thank god i wasn't making these decisions
Great article, sorry if reposted earlier
@Cheimoon Yes. Thank you. I know I can't post media but not being able to reply to a post containing media strikes me as a bit daft but here we are.
Someone promote this lad. We need more Ajax supporters and less Arsenal ones :-)
He's playing a character... He can't actually think that way, right? Hahaha definitely just for views
That's just rubbish. No chance someone like a Conte even takes charge for a 6 month contract. Appointing a manager that needs 150m even to get started then to sack him 6 months is just poor business.

Obviously, at the time we were in the trenches, no one knew what Ten Hag was in that way, yes we knew he played good football and won things.
With Conte, we knew he is strict, would get them running but most of those players were leaving anyway, they were part of the reason our dressing room was leaking too.
I'm not saying to give him a 6 month contract. Give him the 18 months he got at Spurs and sack him after 6 months. It pays for itself if you end up with CL football.
Yeah that would send good message for all future managers.
In just his last couple interviews he's complimented Bruno, Shaw, Garnacho, Martial, Pellestri, Wout and maybe a couple more. And not in a generic way either. This is one of the traits of a great manager is their empathy with their players. When you feel like the coach really cares and understands you as an individual then you are more motivated to work hard for him and buy into his vision.
