Do you agree? Ten hag is the best manager in the world right now, what are the tactics he used to galvanized his team?

I always believed Erik ten Hag to be the man to turn around the wrecked ship at Man Utd.

Few of my earlier posts reiterating my firm belief in Erik ten Hag’s ability right from the beginning:

@Jay

In my opinion, Ten Hag has taken up a tough job at Man Utd, trying to transform United’s fortunes and live up to the unparalleled legacy left behind by Sir Alex Ferguson. Frankly, the club has seen better results without Ronaldo and they don’t need a disgruntled player to hinder their chances of turning around to make it into the top 4, if not for the PL title this season. I think, Ten Hag is the only manager who can do this at this moment.

@Jay

I think Cristiano should stay and give one more year at Man Utd. I believe Erik ten Hag is going to be a game changer for Man Utd this season.

My take before his appointment as Man Utd Manager

@Jay

@Samuel

Does he sound like a good fit?

Earlier I had quoted Ten Hag’s philosophy and playing style.
Previous Man Utd managers choices haven’t obviously brought about the desired results.
Based on Ten Hag’s past overall record, his philosophy seems to be working. Then why not give him a chance to prove?

@Jay

Playing style:
Underpinning Ten Hag’s philosophy is a desire to press aggressively and win the ball back quickly. The role of the defensive midfielder is key to his system in helping to shield the back four.

In his own words, Ten Hag says success is less to do with formation, and more to do with basic principles. He told DutchSoccerSite: “It’s not even about systems. It’s about what you do in possession, when you lose possession and in those turn around moments. And you need to be able to change that up.”

He added: “The players’ qualities determine how you play.”

He also has a relentless desire to win, again and again. Ten Hag explained: “Good ain’t good enough. We need to get better. Push boundaries.

Ajax boss Erik ten Hag:

Ten Hag, who joined Ajax in 2017, has enjoyed a successful stint at the club, having won five trophies there including two league titles.

Ten Hag is known for his attack-minded style of football, leading Ajax on a dream run to the semi-finals of the Champions League in 2018-19, where they dramatically lost against Spurs.

The Dutch club had won all their group games this UCL season, however Benfica pulled off a surprise 1-0 win at the Johan Cruyff Arena to end Ajax’s impressive UEFA Champions League run.

This season, Ajax stand atop the Eredivisie table having won the title for the past 4 years.

Erik ten Hag Overall Record:

Clubs: Go Ahead Eagles, Bayern Munich’s reserve team between 2013 and 2015 while Pep Guardiola was manager of the first team, Utrecht, Ajax

Points per game: 2.08
Win rate: 64.04%
Loss rate: 19.1%

Goals per game: 2.41
Goals against per game: 1.08

Trophies: 5 (Eredivisie x2, KNVB Cup x2, Johan Cruyff Shield)

As predicted Man Utd at 3rd spot

@Jay

Who will secure the top 4 spots? Can Man United, Liverpool, Chelsea make it through?

Personally I feel confident Erik ten Hag leading Man United to the 3rd spot if not better.
