This is what United is missing, I don't know if Eric Ten Hag can be the coach that will bring those victorious days back to Manchester united. I could remember that this was how City was suffering in winning the league, until the two Arab brother bough the club and pump money into the club, which was how they got Pep from Barcelona to manage City, and since then Pep have transformed City into a strong club and the favorite in EPL.
As you said, it all depends on the financial support, actually, if Ten Hag gets financial support, of course he can get a lot of good players. I don't know much about who recruited Antony, whether it was Ten Hag's wishes or Manchester United management, because Antony is a real player. less productive and in my opinion, especially with the high price, it's not worth it, it's even a waste of money, Manchester United must be more careful in buying new players next season.
The important thing that we know is that when Manchester United also entered European competition, of course they really prepared everything from the main squad or the new coach, I don't know whether Ten Hag is still in use or not, I haven't seen any further developments regarding this team, but in my opinion Ten Hag should be replaced and given the opportunity for a new coach to replace him. I think if there is a change for the better, it means that there has been something wrong all along with Ten Hag so that what makes him fail is that he is not in the main squad. EPL competition is also getting tougher next season. Manchester United must be able to determine their position before the new season starts.
