The early signs have been very promising, but Erik ten Hag would be the first to tell you that he has still got plenty of work to do to get Manchester United to where he wants them.
Winning the Carabao Cup, progressing in the FA Cup and Europa League and sustaining a strong challenge for a top four finish is pretty much the best that United fans would have hoped for when the Dutchman joined the club last summer, but it is only a start and the manager will eventually want more.
Whatever happens with the takeover he's likely to get the funds to achieve more too, with either new owners or a freshly funded - but still unpopular - Glazers around to inject some cash into the squad.
