Can we just sign Ajax, lock, stock and barrel.
That Bruno to Bebe was great.The opinions of three Ajax-supporting posters on the Ten Hag/De Boer comparison.
Ajax are just so gooooood. Imagine what we could achieve with a decent manager..
Youre loving itThis is sad, just making Dortmund look like a relegation side.
Bring their youth setup as well. They actually bring their kids through.Bring him in along with Edwin.
Will never sell shirts.Yeah he's alright but is he marketable like Zidane? I don't think so
We just want him to manage our team and do this sexy shit he's doing with Ajax. We don't want to sell shirts with his name and neither sell him on eBay.Yeah he's alright but is he marketable like Zidane? I don't think so
We are looking so desperate for some change it sounds like anyone is welcomeThe real question is; would you take Steven Berghuis at United. Been brilliant tonight.
I’d have any of the midfielders on the pitchThe real question is; would you take Steven Berghuis at United. Been brilliant tonight.
Ajax supportes probably.Just now the don't want vote went up from 48 to 49! Seriously who are these people?
To be fair, playing in our league isn't that intense for Ajax. Definitely not comparable to England.32 year old Tadic plays every game for this side. Blind who wasn't fit for our bench 5 years ago plays nearly every game. Yet they play good football. Strange.

Let’s not let facts get in the way of a chance to shit on United.To be fair, playing in our league isn't that intense for Ajax. Definitely not comparable to England.
So basically coaching.Coaching.
Drills.
Pattern of play.
Tactics.
If United come for Ten Hag he will swim across the channel. You vastly underestimate United's global appeal. Ajax are great, but they're completely dwarfed by United in terms of appeal. Or salary for that matter.As is often the case with our club, we automatically assume that we can attract a manager like Ten Hag and that he should be flattered to be linked with us, but try and look at it from his perspective. As one of the up and coming managers in the game - who receives acclaim from most people involved in football - he knows that his current trajectory will eventually land him in the hot seat at one of the biggest clubs in Europe and in all likelihood, as national team manager one day. Ten Hag doesn't need to be concerned about finances (He could manage Ajax for the next 40 years and live an amazing lifestyle) so he has the luxury of being able to be in his own driving seat as far as his career goes.
At this stage of his life, is it worth the pressure of coming here? It's clearly a disjointed team who need a lot of bad habits coached out of them, and he will be arguably the moist under pressure manager in the world with a fanbase that has expectations of an immediate return to major trophies. Plus, he has never had to manage the ego's like we have at Old Trafford, and for a lot of coaches, they prefer working with players who are easier to manage both on and off the field.
Sure, it should be a pre-requisite for any top level manager that they are willing to put themselves in the melting pot and take the reigns of one of the biggest sporting institutions on the planet, but I wouldn't blame him for wanting to stay clear. We just put him in the list of potential new managers like it's not even a question he would want to come, but I think that type of mentality is part of the reason there is such a disconnect around the club. We should acknowledge the things going wrong, and communicate very clearly to any potential new hire that this is still a process, but we trust that you will raise the level of output from this group of players utilizing your philosophy.
