Manchester United fans are loving life under Erik ten Hag. The team may not be winning every game nor in the Champions League spots but after years of stopping and starting, things finally seem to be going in the right direction.
However, things could have gone very differently. Since Sir Alex Ferguson retired United have had five permanent managers and one interim; David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Ralf Rangnick, and now Ten Hag.
But after the disappointment of Mourinho, many United fans wanted to double down on appointing a 'proven winner' especially while Solskjaer was just in place as an interim option. Diego Simeone was a name suggested by some fans, but an option that gained a lot of traction within the fanbase due to the fact that he was available was Massimiliano Allegri.
