Several teams are trying to improve their performance as best as possible and trying to surpass every other team that will be their opponent in the competition, Manchester United for example is starting to make major overhaul.
Ten Hag failed to be fired and he is in the season break with this transfer window looking really very busy with looking for several players who can be used to strengthen Manchester United, from several reports circulating Ten Hag asked for large amount of money for make all his wishes come true.
Several players have been officially offered and Manchester United has made number of attempts to buy for quite fantastic amount of money, if this is successful, perhaps Manchester United will be strong candidate for the Europa League, but who knows what will happen with the changes.
To be honest, I'm not really sure about Manchester United, not because I underestimate them, but the performance they have shown recently has created doubts in my mind regarding their performance next season. I didn't see their form of play, I mean I couldn't see what they were trying to implement from Erik Ten Hag's strategy. I don't know if it's because Erik Ten Hag "can't" formulate a strategy or there's something else.
The problem is that Erik Ten Hag tends to blame the players when Manchester United gets unsatisfactory results. In my opinion, that doesn't reflect a good coach, where usually the coach will try to be the first person who will be ready to defend his players when they make a mistake.
Mistakes are very common in football, what is unusual is when they often make mistakes. And that's what they show, yes they often make the same mistakes and it doesn't even need to happen. Therefore, I doubt them, although I also do not rule out the possibility that they might be able to do better.
Many people say the same thing that there is no confidence and guarantee to make Manchester United the favorite in the Europa League competition, they look at Manchester United development and there is no fundamental reason to have that belief.
But let talk and evaluate Manchester United efforts in this season changeover break which will also take place during the opening of the summer transfer window, I admit that what Ten Hag is working on and trying to do is quite surprising.
This could be Ten Hag last season and that is the reason why he really seems eager to make changes to convince the team top brass with the aim of regaining their trust as coach worth retaining.
But there is lot of truth in what you say, we can all see how the Manchester United players do not overall seem comfortable playing under the leadership of coach Ten Hag, some are even reported to have left the team if Ten Hag was still the coach.
However, everything has happened and indeed bad sentiments towards Ten Hag often arise, let just follow Manchester United development with Ten Hag in this third season, if he succeeds especially in bringing the team as strong candidate to win the Europa League, then that will be big surprise.
