Erik ten Hag has not only transformed Manchester United's results this season but the mood in the dressing room – which is now a show of unity rather than division.
Not only are damaging leaks no longer frequently emerging from the United dressing room but the entire squad is pulling in one direction and have forged a strong bond. The difference from the chaos Ten Hag inherited could be seen in a recent on-pitch argument between Antony and Bruno Fernandes.
The two attacking stars exchanged angry words during the draw away to Crystal Palace earlier this month, but while in recent seasons this may have been indicative of a clash of egos without dressing-room leadership – this was a mutual show of frustration based on their will to win.
