After a tough start to the season, Manchester United have gone from strength-to-strength under Erik ten Hag.
Quietly, the Red Devils are putting together quite a smart season under the Dutchman. They’re into the Premier League's top three, have one foot in the Carabao Cup Final, are progressing nicely in the FA Cup and have two mouthwatering Europa League matches against Barcelona to look forwards to later this month. They look like a football team with a plan once more.
That’s despite the Cristiano Ronaldo saga that threatened to derail not just their season, but Ten Hag’s entire management of the first team. However, the ex-Ajax boss navigated those particular choppy waters with aplomb.
