There are a lot of parallels for sure. Pro for Brendan in that implemented a playing style and nearly won the league. ETH has gotten over the line in two cup finals which is huge as well. Ole could still be there now if he’d bagged that Europa and not signed the 3 disrupters, had built a nice counterattacking team.
I think Ten Haag is going to settle on United becoming a transition based, counter attacking team this season. Results improved a lot towards the end of the year once he settled on this after the Chelsea disaster. That’s going to be the team identity.
He like Brendan might have a bit of a glass eye for a player, but both top technical coaches by reputation. Both prone to being cold with players and casting aside expensive players. Both serial winners.
Rashford had the worst season of his career last season under Ten Hag. That’s no improvement. Just a short burst of form in early 2023 that quickly petered out. He’s improved Garnacho, Mainoo and Dalot but nobody else?
So his best every season doesn’t count but according to you his worst does?
Rashford improved under ten hag.
Mctominay improved, dalot, garnacho, Diallo, Mainoo, Bruno Fernandes.
You can just admit your comparison was bollocks.
It doesn’t sit well with Liverpool fans ten hag won more trophies than klopp in their two seasons in the league and had a better head to head too for whatever reason.
Bruno most definitely has not improved. His output was far superior under OGS. He’s regressed since 2021 in my opinion. McTominay has apparently improved but you consistently slate him. He was actually decent under Ole’s tutelage as well. You can’t say Rashford has improved when he’s gone from an England regular in 2022 to a player who wasn’t even selected in the 26 man squad in 2024.
