No one can accuse Erik ten Hag of not having guts.
In his short six months at Manchester United he has won a game of chicken with the biggest ego in the game, hardly played the captain of the club, put his reputation on the line in signing the players he wants, repeatedly picked risky starting XIs with players out of position and if nothing else he took the job in the first place! Becoming the captain of a sinking ship in your first big career move could have been a death sentence.
But Ten Hag has plugged the holes, bailed out the water, steered into smoother tides and finally, after 10 long years, got United heading in the right direction once again.
