The Manchester United reunion

When Kobbie Mainooone of the emerging youth of unitedjumped onto the field as the starter, on Tuesday night against the Charlton Athletic, many saw a clear message from coach Ten Hag about his plans in Manchester. maino He is only 17 years old and a very promising midfielder, but a friendly in Cádiz, where he scored a good goal, and a winter tour was enough to convince there is a hag of his characteristics. He has made his debut in the first team. As has happened to other youngsters who have been fostered at Carrington Academy and have been promoted, such as Charlie McNeill, Zidane Iqbal or the Spanish-Argentine Garnacho. It is the culture of the club, the same culture that the Dutchman successfully introduced to Ajax and that he now wants to combine with united.

In the early days of the Dutch there is a hag in Manchester the word “cooperation” was heard many times. He repeated this in his press conferences as a clear message for his first target upon his arrival Old Trafford. And in a more visible gesture, he took charge of the Under-21 team, as he believed it was “isolated” from the club’s structure. In this way, he tried to show all the technicians that supporting young people will be the key in the future, under his coordination, which he leads with his assistants. Mitchell van der Gaag Y Steve McClaren. And he wants the club’s reconnection to be done from top to bottom, but with everyone’s support. Cooperation. That’s how his time in Manchester started and that’s how he continues with all the decisions.

A few hours later, the united It took a steady course, with the promotion of the best youth of the club, integrated from the youth in a flexible game system 4-3-3, where the wings are counted as a reference to launch many of the attacks. The latest achievements reflect the evolution of that ambitious style. The Dutchman is also redirecting the club, with his ideas, towards principles reminiscent of those, in his time, the legendary Scotsman set alex ferguson.

In a special way, about internal order and discipline, which in previous years, with five different coaches, was lazily left aside.

In his work of uniting the dressing room, he is inflexible ronaldo, marked the exit door to his substitution. He was also relentless in placing a salary cap on players’ files, and was equally harsh in his physical demands on youngsters, so that they would work harder in training. In case Rashfordfinally recovered as a decisive striker, agreed with him.

A Rashford he looks faster, more explosive and decisive than ever, and his goals have been key to his recovery. Both jobs are demanding Jadon Sancho and the Spanish-Argentine Garnacho, or other promising young people. An ongoing look at the quarry, including signatures and sets of established players (De Gea, Shaw, Varane, Casemiro, Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes, Rashford and Antony) draws on the horizon of the club.

In this plan, one more united He broke it in January, having regained his vigor and was on track to challenge for the titles, which he accepted. there is a hag. The ‘Red Devils’ have not won a trophy for five years. If there is any concern now, it is no longer on the field, but rather coming from the offices, as the world’s richest and most-followed club is being sold, causing some uncertainty about the future of the shares.

Demand is also seen as another constant in the club’s new phase, as well as in signings. there is a hag He criticized the hiring policy followed in recent years, which he blamed for the poor results. And the proof of his disagreement is that, despite chaining eight consecutive victories in all competitions, the Dutchman is the first to still disagree with the overall performance. “We want to play football, not tennis,” he said after the thrashing bournemouth. And it’s on united ‘box to box’ seen in several matches, attacking up to 6 players, he still lacks pause and control, cooling matches when he dominates them.

Taking advantage of that same enthusiasm, he placed fourth in the Premier, moving within four points of their great city rivals City (second). Both meet on Saturday in a good Manchester derby, at Old Trafford. For now, this Manchester Utd renewed from there is a hag, who will face Barça in the Europa League, looks in the mirror and recognizes himself, reconnected with the values ​​of effort, ambition and projection of his academy, with young talents like the recently debuted Mainoo. This is a double jeopardy team. Because he has determined the style to follow and because his impetus is unpredictable.
