Erik ten Hag's debut campaign at Manchester United has been considered a qualified success by most in football.
The Old Trafford chief guided his side to the Carabao Cup in February while the Reds are closing in on a top-four place and, with it, Champions League football for next season. United could still lift the FA Cup with a final against Manchester City to come next month.
And while Ten Hag's side remain a work in progress, there is certainly cause for optimism. His efforts have helped instil an identity and belief back into the club and for that he deserves credit.
