He’s so straightforward, you can see why the players trust him. Clever but doesn’t waste any time pontificating, he just gets straight to it.
He's an amazing tactician, an amazing authority figure and he doesn't hide when things get rough. He's got us playing some silky football and we've got a bite to us that we haven't seen for years. fecking love what he's done so far and long may it continue.
That's the way to my heart, he's amazing.
Same. I had high hopes because of his style of play and results at Ajax. However, I never expected him to rejuvenate the team this quickly. I love the mentality he has instilled in the players, the positive football we're playing and his man management (shipping off Ronaldo, protecting Sancho, improving Rashford etc.). All of this just goes to show how important it is in modern football to get in the right coach.
Had high hopes for him still he has managed to exceed my expectation so far in terms of setting his mark on this team so early. We might not win anything this year, but looking forward to every match we play under him now.
Whatever happens in the summer, he needs to be given a blank cheque book and told he can have whatever he wants. He is taking us back.
How is this guy so good 
Has he actually put a foot wrong yet? What a fecking king

He's our beatiful bald manager.
But please stop playing Rashford and Bruno out of position to accomodate much inferior players.

Doesn't have to bluff or waffle. He's the real deal. The anti Rodgers.
i love him
Antony didn't have 90 minutes in him just back from injury. And Erik's subs are winning games.
Maybe the plan is to control the first half with lots of pressing. Then go for the kill second half. Not saying it went that way! But could explain Wout starting.
Can't underestimate how much a win like that does for the confidence of the team
Guys a footballing wizard. 10 out of 10 from me!
he’s made some and will in the future - but nobody is perfect.How is this guy so good

he’s doing such a great job though.
Best signing in the post-SAF era!!!
I think he just genuinely likes Wout. And tbf Wout has been good in some games, but he was useless in this one
This man is working wonders
And some guys here wanted Pochettino instead of him.
Tbh, that wasn't many. Don't think I've seen a fanbase unite so much in wanting a manager. Guess we can be right about something once in a while.
My only concern is the persistence with Weghorst. We become immediately better when he is subbed off and Rashford goes up top, but it means we generally start slow, and only improve once he's gone.
I guess I can't really fault it, because it's working, in a weird way, but it's tough to watch before that sub is made.

The good thing above everything is, he has control of the team..
What we've lacked ever since is control and stability of the football team, interims managers + 3 year Mourinho always felt unsustainable to say the least.
Now we are settled, you know no matter who we sign will not destabilize the club, everyone knows their responsibility, top management knows kind of players the manager wants.
This is his team now, that's why even when we need a change of tactics, he does it effortlessly with a single substitution.
From there all his best attributes will shine.
Boy, he extracts maximum ability from all the players.

Sir Erik ten Hag
I love him. Played Barca off the park. Twice actually.
Ten Hag talked about the importance of having different problems i.e. starting Weghorst in the middle and then moving Rashford centre changes the defenders problems and unsettles them.
Hysterical to think Spurs, reportedly, turned down Ten Hag. Allegedly, cos they thought he lacked charisma.
Afterall Mourinho was right, we are einsteins.
He's a world class manager.
When was the last time we properly took the game to a European giant home and away like that? Even Sir Alex had to resort to pragmatic football and hit them on the counter.
Don't want to get ahead of myself but I do think we have a proper feckin manager. Now if the Glazers could kindly and swiftly feck off so we can bring in owners who can properly back our beautiful Pep Guardiola is my idol.

He turned them down, he even extended his contract to make sure they leave him alone.
His calmness and authority comes so naturally.
This man has galvanised this whole club, not just the team, the whole club. I enjoy watching us like the Fergie days again, and OT is absolutely rocking again.

Ridiculous how easy he is making it look, given the situation he came into. A squad lacking togetherness, blighted by Ronaldo, coming off one of the most terrible seasons in memory. It just shows it is never quite as bad as it appears, usually. Top managers have some kind of alchemy that can produce outcomes the also rans just can't. At United you get money and you get some talented players, so you've got something to work with. So it's not surprising that if you put an elite managerial talent into that situation they can achieve, but the rate has been quite remarkable.
Apparently our subs have scored more goals than all the teams in the top five leagues

Isn't that just one of these Caf myths?
Another lacklustre first half and comeback in the second.
Under other managers this was said to be unsustainable.

What a man. He restored the spirit, winning mentality, pressing structure, tactical nous, aggression and attacking football in 8 months. Simply sublime.
He should be our highest paid squad member
