Manchester United have been able to win some matches after Ten Hag got sacked, but the only strong team that they played against and they played a draw was against Chelsea. Other clubs that they played against are not really strong teams, so I won’t really say there is improvement in their performance yet.
I agree that Manchester United haven't played against really tough team except for Chelsea since after the exit of ten hag but even with the week teams they have played against, you will agree with me that their performance has shown a whole lot of improvement and their game play is much better than that of the times they had ten hag still as their head coach but what they will be battling now would be how to maintain this sucks that they will be consistent enough till the end of the season and probably secure a trophy, after all with the Europa they have been seen as one key favorite to win the trophy.

You have a point mate. I am also surprised that the same players and almost the same playing style are bringing good results now. This shows that the players don't like Erik Ten Hag or they are not well motivated.
From the way Manchester United are playing currently, it’s just obvious that Manchester United players are having personal problems with ten hag, and they wanted him sacked, and they have been able to achieve that. All the poor performance from players is intentional. Since Ten Hag left Manchester United, the way the players are playing is just completely different. I just hope Manchester United's performance is going to improve since ten hag is not longer their coach. We saw a Manchester United team that has improved and is hungry for goals.

At first I didn't expect Ajax to get win like this because even though I believe Ajax can play well, their chances of winning are still not that big, but they managed to do it and made everyone happy to see them beat Maccabi.
Most surprising thing for me is their good performance in the Europa League and now they are in second place in 4 match showing 3 win with 1 draw, yesterday big win 5 - 0 from Maccabi was quite fun game to watch.
Literally Ajax went beyond the expectations of many in this game in that they had to win without conceding a goal with such an epic scorelines which they haven't had since this season in their Europa games. Ajax is doing so well position wise and their chances of winning the title may just be increasing if they can consistently get more of this, that have not had as much poor performance in the Europa as they have done in their domestic league this season and so I'm beginning to build some confidence in them that they will be able to get a good leverage in the Europa gis season.Most surprising thing for me is their good performance in the Europa League and now they are in second place in 4 match showing 3 win with 1 draw, yesterday big win 5 - 0 from Maccabi was quite fun game to watch.
ajax was really able to take advantage of their dominance, attacking well and converting it into goals. 3 goals in the first half and 2 goals in the second half were extraordinary. And what was unexpected was that the goals were not created by just one person, but by 5 people who produced five goals.
In the midst of ajax's dominance, Tel Aviv had time to make several attacks and penetrate ajax's defense several times, but it was very unfortunate that several of these attacks did not produce perfect results and became goals to reduce the defeat, so that in the end they had to lose with a score of 5-0.
And this is not a surprising result for ajax, because from the first leg of the UEFA Europa League, ajax had shown that they would be one of the dominant clubs in this league, by destroying besiktas with a score of 4-0

You are right I am one of those who are amazed by the performance that ajax gave in yesterday's match this big win will at least convince most people that the Dutch league representative can talk a lot in the uefa europa league competition this season or even they can go further if their consistency can be maintained well. It seems that ajax wants to focus more on this competition than the eredivisie. 
In addition, the inclusion of Solanke was actually too late in my opinion
Ange Postecoglou preferred to rest some of his players. Because Tottenham won all of their 3 Europa League games before playing against Galatasaray. I respect this decision because Tottenham already has many injured players.

As a manager, there is how you will talk and motivate your players in order for them to bring out the best in them or have the passion to win matches, but Ten Hag lacks that quality. Instead, he would come to the media and put all the blame on the players, do you think they will be happy to have someone that criticize them as their coach. I think that a good, and successful coach is not only by his experience and skills on the field, but also by having a good relationship with his players and motivate the players at the right time for them to play with passion and zeal so that they can win the game.
You are right, experience and expertise as a coach are the second and third options. The most important thing is how the coach understands the nature of all players and provides closeness to unite chemistry. And related to chemistry not only between players and players but if a player has closeness with the coach, of course the tactics and strategies given can be more perfect. That is Ten Hag weakness and without us realizing he always has problems with players and of course it will affect the performance of the squad and also sometimes players can punish the coach in different ways. 
To be fair, United didn't even play any different formation or strategy or even players. Most of those players did played there and I believe most of the players are the same as well. This is why I believe the players are just playing better because they just like the manager better. I am still on belief that ETH talked about players badly, and that is why players played bad knowing that if they play bad, ETH would be fired and that's why they lost so many games.
United was never this bad, they were always good enough to win, they were good enough to be at a better place than this as well. I just believe that they ended up playing badly to get him fired. Not that ETH is a good manager, he sucks and part of the reason is he lost the locker room and that's why he got fired.

There have been cases where players agree to underperform to make the club sack a coach so I wouldn't doubt if this is the same strategy that the players adopted. The club refused to sack him when it was clear that his performance had dropped, rather they gave him a new contact. We might not know what went wrong in the locker until a player opens up.

Ajax played very well in this match, they were comfortable to play so they could create many goals. Apart from their opponent who is also one of the teams that has never tasted victory in the Europa League this season, but they were able to take advantage of it very well so that they could create 5 goals and that brought them to 2nd position in the Europa League standings.Most surprising thing for me is their good performance in the Europa League and now they are in second place in 4 match showing 3 win with 1 draw, yesterday big win 5 - 0 from Maccabi was quite fun game to watch.
They managed to create 3 goals in the first half and 2 others they managed to create in the second half so that the victory they got was very convincing. Now they have a very big chance to be able to qualify directly without going through the play-off round, they just need to keep their game good.
I have been very surprised by Ajax's performance in the last few matches. This team is playing great this season. In the last two seasons we have seen poor and erratic performances from Ajax. But this season's scenario is completely different. This team is able to perform well. Ajax have won their last two matches in the Eredivisie against Feyenoord and PSV. PSV is dominating the Eredivisie this season. Even then Ajax team managed to win against PSV.
Ajax's players were very confident after the win against PSV. I think this is the main reason why Ajax players were able to perform so well against Tel-Aviv. Tel-Aviv's players do not give much advantage to Ajax's players. Tel-Aviv's players could launch some powerful attacks, but they could not break through Ajax's defense.
Ajax won three out of four Europa League matches. And at the moment the second place in the table is occupied by Ajax. Ajax has scored the most goals in the Europa League so far. Ajax scored 13 goals in 4 matches and conceded only one goal.

Unfortunately with the advantage of the number of players from the 60th minute could not make Galatasaray add goals in the second half. they played well but the advantage of players actually made Galatasaray's game open some gaps in their defense. Tottenham played quite badly, they often lost the ball in short passes and that also happened in several previous matches.
There was no significant change from Tottenham's game. they sometimes played well, but sometimes played not well. Galatasaray deserved the victory.
Galatasaray did not take advantage of the advantage in the number of players and they did not take advantage of several good opportunities to increase their lead in the second half because if you look at it, there were many attacks that were not used to score goals. Losing the ball in short passes and mistakes in anticipating the movement of Galatasaray players became a weakness of Tottenham so that they were unable to stop the attacks that were successfully converted into goals.There was no significant change from Tottenham's game. they sometimes played well, but sometimes played not well. Galatasaray deserved the victory.
There has been no major change because sometimes they play well and in the next match they play badly so they lose points in the match. Even though if you look at the match against Manchester City in the Premier League, their ability to attack and defend is very good.
But, partially due to Tottenham playing with 10 men from the 60th minute, they did their job pretty well and jumped to third place in the table.
Galatasaray performed much better when Tottenham still had all 11 players on the pitch and closed the first half with a 3-1 lead. Osimhen once again showed everyone why he’s one of the world’s top strikers.After the 60th minute, even though Tottenham was down to 10 players, they managed to reduce the deficit to 1 and had chances to earn points in the match.

Yeah indeed Galatasaray played quite well comparing to Tottenham Hotspur regardless of the number of players in the field.
Spurs couldn't hold the draw more than 13 minutes before Osimhen knocked them out by two successive goals. I think finding Galatasaray playing in UEFA Europa League is more interesting than having them in UEFA Champions League where even the top clubs struggle to collect points.
By the way even Europa League is hard when you see the names of the teams playing there
This was a great opportunity for Manchester United and Ruud Van Nistelrooy to secure their first convincing win in the UEFA Europa League this season, and I had a strong feeling it would be an easy victory for them, especially with the match being played at Old Trafford. I was right: Manchester United dominated the game from the first half. Although they were slightly sluggish in the second half, it didn’t impact the outcome, as they emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline in favor of the Reds.

The first half of Manchester United's match against POAK was quite boring because goals weren't scored. I was irritated with Manchester United's attackers from the start of the match because they could score a lot of goals against POAK, who haven't been playing well this season and lost two of their league games to weak teams. In the Europa League, they looked stronger against Manchester United, and if it were Chelsea, I'm sure they would score a lot of goals against POAK. However, Amad Dialo's two goals for Manchester United in less than 30 seconds helped them turn this around and win the game in the second half.
It looks like I'll take a few weeks off. I was quite disappointed with this week's Champions League results, and after seeing how many big teams lost, I'm thinking maybe we're just watching a match that was fixed. Unexpectedly big teams lose in the biggest tournament.
If you're going by that narrative that some of those matches were fixed, you have to also talk about how Man City and Real Madrid's recent games have been fixed. Last weekend, all of the teams in the top 3 of the EPL were down 0-1 by teams they were not fit enough to win them — in that time, there were rumors being spread about that weekend games being fixed. Arsenal and City ended up losing while Liverpool turned it around.
I know there's match fixing, but sometimes, these big teams are just struggling, nothing more.
As for Man Utd's game — I slept off in the first half due to how boring it got. A team like that (POAK) shouldn't be able to hold them off but United lately pulled off a win and I think that matters.
Looking at the line-up that has come out now there is no De Ligt and Rashford because it looks like van Nistelrooy still wants to try to optimize Lindelof and Garnacho but actually this will not be a problem because these two players are also still quite good especially in flexibility issues.
Manchester United's target should be 3 points for now because looking at the 3 matches they have played the draw in the end did not bring them towards a good thing so it is quite important for Manchester United at this time to get 3 points so that their conditions can still be in a fairly good zone.
Van Nistelrooy's debut match also against Leicester was still quite good so there is a big hope of course that van Nistelrooy is currently carrying even though his position is still only interim but I think the responsibility given to him is still able to answer with 3 points because after all this is still important for the continuation of van Nistelrooy's career.
The problem is that I would understand no rashford and instead using garnacho, that makes sense and I am fine with that. But is De Ligt really an issue? Whenever he plays, he plays very well and I believe he is a great player, there is really no reason that would not happen. I believe instead of Lindelof he can use De Ligt and it would still work fine, doesn't feel like it would be a wrong decision.Manchester United's target should be 3 points for now because looking at the 3 matches they have played the draw in the end did not bring them towards a good thing so it is quite important for Manchester United at this time to get 3 points so that their conditions can still be in a fairly good zone.

In any case, United has a brighter future, they are going to get Amorim and when they get him they will do better, Ruud is meaning well and trying his best but he is just not as good of a manager as Amorim, obviously. So when the time comes and Amorim arrives, we are going to see United do better, only a few days left now, of course early games may not be that great but with time we are going to see him settle in and see all players and make better decisions and improve the team for sure. We will see United finish top ten once again, and next season will be much better.
To be honest I feel Van Nistelrooy wants everyone to play football and not just using same set of players in every match. That is the reason he rotates some of the players. Something ten hag didn’t do. He only rotates players base on a player’s injury. Van rotating the players will also help him know whom to put in the starting lineup and who to use as substitute. And the players are really enjoying it.
With Amorim I know there’ll be so much excitement with the players. And any player who doesn’t fit his style of play and isn’t having playing time should be sold then get in players who are needed
