I don't think if in Manchester United, Ten Hag could understand the problem in this team and he can ever try to solve it. Manchester United had bought many players but most of these players they couldn't help Manchester United to have better results and on the other hand, some players had dramas like Sancho and some others were injured.
I think even in the next season if they buy more players we can't expect to see something special from Manchester United.
Honestly Manchester United have the main secret problem not only the players is there issues and the problem is themselves is the only the their coach knows a way out of the problem, but with the way Manchester United performance is going on currently now I don’t think there performance can come better soon if thought they have bought news players, accept if their coach put much efforts in much efforts to make the team become very standard.
Because even with the way Manchester United performed last season you will understand that they can’t make any changes in next coming seasons, because poorly performance has become very obvious.
The thing about United is that if you go back and check every summer in the last 10 years, while they haven't been getting any titles, they are still talked more about every summer (and usually during the boring part of the season) than City or Arsenal or Liverpool.
It is just a fact that they are more famous, and they are getting this much attention right now when they are not even relevant or getting any titles, whereas if they somehow end up getting the title in the near future?
The whole world will be talking about them again, that's called reputation. No matter how many more titles City wins back to back, they are never going to be as good as United in fame, because they are a "new" team at the top, and United has been around for decades and decades. That allows them to keep on growing, and while I do agree that they sucked since SAF left, they are still at least trying to get better, giving their all, and eventually I am sure that all of this hard work will pay off one day. They haven't been good because they made mistakes, but eventually some of their decisions will stick, and won't be a mistake, and then they are going to be happily getting that top spot back from anyone there.
