Another game and another four-goal win. Erik ten Hag's honeymoon period with Manchester United has been so blissfully serene the Glazer family might wonder whether a costly squad rebuild is necessary after all.
Ten Hag is in no mood to wax lyrical about United's progress. He skipped another post-match press conference, even when deprived of the suspicious excuse of a flight to catch as United are in Melbourne until Tuesday. Ten Hag's compatriot and predecessor, Louis van Gaal, milked his propitious pre-season tour eight years ago.
"Glory glory Man United" has been heard at full-time two games running now. Heady days. Nobody is getting giddy and had Ten Hag attended media obligations like every previous United manager he would have doubtless highlighted their shortcomings.
