It is very good to see. Exciting stuff. If we can get the kids coming in the next 2-3 seasons like Shola, Mainoo etc then we will be even better.Haha that video is satisfying. Textbook stuff.

Never in doubt, bro.So we'll have the chance for that Balon d'or clause![]()

And I'd argue that we looked coached under LVG. About a decade out of date, but coached. Which is what we've lacked for ages. Which is all the OP said.We looked as good in Van Gaal's first preseason and ended up losing our first Premier League game against a team that had just been promoted.
Maybe wait until we've won an actual game before you start drinking the Kool-Aid. Otherwise, you're just setting yourself up for disappointment.
Thanks for posting. You too @Adnan with the presser.More Eric Ten Porn material:
Exactly.It’s great to see how hands on Ten Hag is and how passionate about getting his message over to the lads is. When you consider we’ve not got any new additions in here I’m getting more and more optimistic that the team has more to show next season.
I’m baffled we had some posters saying they could see no difference! It’s pretty obvious and the level of fitness seems better too.Exactly.
Life isn't linear and will be full of bumps along the way. But nevertheless, it's time to be positive.
There was another moment in the game with the same build up. Sancho received the ball in the same position as in the training clip, Rashford was open in a similar position. The cross was definitely on but Sancho didn't try it for some reasonEven Sancho's goal, the build up and position of the cross was a carbon copy of that training clip where Sancho assisted Rashford.
Patterns where even if players move around, they know what space needs to be filled in, where to move off of it and where the pass/cross should be played.
I suspect some of the whingers are just being contrarian and are attention seekers. New Management structure/personnel -- a proper re-build and also a new manager and yet they keep harping on to the past. Should be like Christmas or New Year's Day.I’m baffled we had some posters saying they could see no difference! It’s pretty obvious and the level of fitness seems better too.
Think it makes a difference not only having Ten Hag but having top coaches like McClaren and Van der Gaag with him to help implement and understand the philosophy.
On the fitness, Varane's post match interview shows how much we are working on improving fitness as EtH style of play is very demanding physically.I’m baffled we had some posters saying they could see no difference! It’s pretty obvious and the level of fitness seems better too.

- We have to be very fit, it's very physical way to play
- This is a very physical style, that's why know we have to work very hard in training session
Still watch highlights from the time under Ole and I still can't believe how we setup. Pick any random compilation, at least half of it starts with one, maybe two max United players in the opponent half and everyone else in our half. Ole was just Jose with a bow.What impressed me the most about yesterday was that we tried to play front foot attacking football.
Usually in recent years, whenever we have won against Pool/City its usually been on the counter, with the other team dominating possession. But yesterday, we tried to keep the ball, played quick, and pressed high. It was nice to see the rotations and third man runs/passes. The invertion of fullbacks and midfielders dropping in and out were interesting to see.
Lets keep it going now. Hopefully Eriksen, FDJ and Martinez join the squad in pre season.

I always said we're a bit underrated by some section of the fans on this forum, last season was crap but before then we finished second and third and when we finished third it was with a similar front four to now.What I liked the best in the Liverpool match is that this 4-0 scoreline was achieved with virtually the last season's squad. The squad which was maligned so much by the ignoramuses on this forum.
Yes exactly right. Got early Fergie vibes when it was his way or the highway for players who couldnt adapt.Doesn't matter that its preseason imo, ETH is so detail orientated that he wouldn't waste priceless match experience with a poorly coached team.
Crazy though isn't it, 3 weeks on the training pitch has seen more progress than the last 5 years. Precisely why the arguments of "well we have tried coaches at the top of their game and it never worked" were so frustrating... no, no we didn't.
Agreed. I think he’ll have time for Axel as well. Gone are the days of running the squad into the ground playing the same underperforming eleven every match. “If you are good enough you’re old enough” has returned to Manchester United Football Club. Exciting times.I always said we're a bit underrated by some section of the fans on this forum, last season was crap but before then we finished second and third and when we finished third it was with a similar front four to now.
I'll like to see the work he can do with our youth players Garner, Hannibal, Laird, Iqbal, Amad, Pellistri. A big part of his job at Ajax was turning this youth players into proper pros and he achieve that with success, post SAF he'll be the second manager who can work with youth after Van gaal.
But...but... we must have Ronaldo. The goat. Pressing is just for hipsters. Where are the goals going to come from?! Something something the goat.Tweet

Rashford and a lot of the players have been with him for nearly three weeks now.How can Rashford say the players are a lot fitter now? The first team have been with him about a week or so.
One of Ajax supporters main criticism of him was his lack of rotationAgreed. I think he’ll have time for Axel as well.

It sounds bizarre but as of now Ronaldo really is the biggest obstacle to Hagball this season.But...but... we must have Ronaldo. The goat. Pressing is just for hipsters. Where are the goals going to come from?! Something something the goat.
I love Erik. FINALLY a coach and hopefully he never plays Ronaldo for one minute even if he would stay.
He's just giving standard pr answers. Not really the insightful lad is he?How can Rashford say the players are a lot fitter now? The first team have been with him about a week or so.
The move that ended with McTominay shooting was so so good. Shaw is such a brilliant footballer when on songMore Eric Ten Porn material:
I'll like to see a big family like squad with an almost religious like adherence to proactive football, a mix of signings and academy pros should be the vision.Agreed.
