The irony is that erik ten hag would have been top of the list for ineos if he was still in ajax

I think Lisandro Martinez getting injured is one of the biggest reason why we are this bad. He is not just a Centre Back but playmaker at the back. Actually he is even better than our whole midfielder so he is also playmaker at the middle as well. If you look back at the Liverpool of 2020 and Liverpool of 2022-23, you could clearly see that what injury could do to a team especially if Van Dijk is injured. It might actually be the reason why he abandoned playing from the back because of his injury. The sudden downfall of Casemiro is also another big reason for our current form.

I am not denying any of those claims but the big problem is that if you go back to Ajax 2018 and 2021-22 era, ETH was a perfect manager for almost every team. A manager that could build a team from very limited budget. He managed to reach the Semi final and imo they should be the one reaching the finals because they were overall much better side than that Tottenham side. They outplayed the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus and Tot at their best. Those managers aren't any better than what ETH looked like those four or five years ago.

Mate, we have been terrible for the last ten years. It's as if you only started supporting Man Utd yesterday. How many managers do we have to go through until we realize that some of these players can't play the modern football style. I'm not saying that Ten Hag is the answer but you are deluded if you think that replacing him will turn us into prime Barcelona.

Nagelsmann is also not bad. I think his Bayern days might have put a shadow on what a promising coach he was prior.

This guy is great at luring you in thinking he's got a deep understanding of the game. If you listen enough though it doesn't take long to realize he's got no more wisdom than United Stand or United View or Stretford Paddock just some fans with emotionally charged opinions and no real understanding of what it takes to run a club or manage players.

Great insight... but honestly, I saw these kind of videos of Ajax + Erik when we were shopping for him. And with slightly similarly "complex" and "involving " patterns of play highlighted here, the current United players (or ring leaders) are not up to the task and will fail any new manager after 6 - 12 months if these players are not shown the door with or without cash value. So, Erik is still a decent option to give one more try if we are doing player clear out, and one option we already have.

Any manager comes to united becomes worst not because they are actually bad but the system which works behind them is not right. Yet we blame the manager

Another great video. Keep it up!

The thing is every manager has been good before they come to utd its the players that screw each manager over.

Roberto De Zerbi is not the answer imo

2:10 I would argue no man has saved a club from humiliation to stability more than Jose did to Madrid, in 2010. But i see your point

I would love to have De Zerbi. My only issue is, since sides have realised his press baiting and artificial counter attacks tactics, opponents are intentionally refusing to press Brighton. And he looks like he is struggling to adapt his tactics to deal with this. I think if he does, he might be the next top manager.

Good video. I like the look of motta, i think hes very different. I think De zerbi would do amazingly well with players like mainoo and mount and bruno. I really think de zerbis system is perfect for mainoo tbh, he could be that mcallister type midfielder who can do it all and with that quick progression into midfield de zerbi uses, mainoo has all the qualities to turn and play forward, making the right choices.

Thanks for the video. Just subscribed

Oh yeah, let's just sack the manager and then bring in ball-playing centre-backs and a defensive midfielder he wanted, so a new manager can take the credit, right? You were shouting out Kambawala and the kids last time. See what happened? Yawn. De Zerbi is just another manager who will get spat out after 18 months. Or how about we just sort out the personnel in the team, sell the right players, buy the right players, and give the manager the third season he deserves.

I'm all for de Zerbi if he can get us back in the big time. But it's a massive IF. I'm convinced he has the making of a great innovative coach but I'm even more convinced he won't have the right players at the club. These United squad isn't cut out for sophisticated tactical play. There will need to be massive clearouts and rebuilding, something that can't be done in a window or two and something which requires heavy investments. I'm afraid de Zerbi gets thrown under the bus too in his second or third season.

If you like bring Guardiola as head coach and Klopp as his assistant, it won't work with the useless bunch of players at this club!

Nagelsmann video as the Utd manager would be nice

De zerbi plays from the back, ten hag wants to play from the back but got center back issues, but you want ten hag out de zerbi in

true RDZ is very good at his craft. but we have seen teams also adapt this season quite well and even beat them convincingly. so he has seemed not to add more spieces to what he is cooking. Julian however has shown adaptability and also being defensively good tactically and not just attack-wise like RDZ. but also RDZ will be difficult to get while julian may be available after euros. given ETH keeps paving more way for his sacking, it is unavoidable to think about a replacement already. coz utd may end up out of europe entirely next season. but also waiting out his year that is left whilst giving him the very much chorused chance that many say he should be given is also a plus to the admin. utd fans should just keep their fingers crossed and braced for torment in the short term. hopefully utd gets better but also ten hag adapts better. he honestly did well last season only to fail to still address the concerns his style creates hence making him look unfit for purpose since he doesnt address the loopholes

Brilliant work mate

CB model ETH used at Ajax but impossible to do so with the current CBs at United. (Motta) And De Zerbi, look where his club is standing at the moment... not a pot of gold either...

I do like the idea of appointing de zerbi. Could you make a video about which players we should buy that can follow his system and how they would fit into the team?

I would prefer motta to be honest who id a bit more defensive like arteta , rdz's pressing structure is super aggresive which leaves it susceptible to counter attacks which means we can never really challenge for the title which is the ultimate goal

i have watched this video three or four times now and listen to all your analysis and went and watched some highlights on Brighton and looked at De Zerbi records. I love the guy and what he has done at Brighton but I still think Man Utd is too big of a club one; and two we are mess of a club right now and has been over 11 years. and if De Zerbi was to come in he will need about 4-5 years max to win a major trophy but our fan base aren’t patient and we want to win NOW!

De Zerbi not only fits what United wants to do for the first team but also from a multi club model with Nice being managed by a disciple of his. His ability to blind young and old players into a modern system while innovation for an individual game by game basis is fantastic. Plus, I love how United is going old school on the rest of the Premier league and says we take what we want .

Do a video comparing De Zerbi to Motta. IMO they are the two best options for ManU but there isn’t enough coverage on Motta for me to rule him out against De Zerbi.

Had the Glazers cared even a little bit about Man United they would never have greenlighted Fergie's decision to hand pick Moyes...i think Ferguson didn't realize how brilliant he was in making Smalling, Jones, Young, Cleverly, Fletcher, Welbeck Title winners... Other managers would never achieve that.

We can talk about the tactics all we want but f the players refuse to listen to the manager's instructions, even Pep and Klopp will fail in United.

Right, you have forgotten one thing and one thing only, that is, which goes every manager by the way, it all requires money and time. If you don't allow the manager atleast three years to implement his tactics and his philosophy, Manchester United will be looking for a new manager in around about 18 month again. I say give Erik ten Hag another year. Oh no, you want to win the treble in about three years time! My mistake! Sorry!

Tactically De Zerbi's game model is excellent. My doubts around him are about his ability to manage top players and create a winning mentality/culture. Managing in the pressure cooker of Old Trafford is a different beast. Also, can he be pragmatic enough at times to alter his tactics to exploit the opposition? Or is he to wedded to one way of play? I think this is yet to be seen. My pick would be Unai Emerey, who has shown similar traits to De Zerbi but I also think he has the statesman like personality to manage a top tier club. He's won 4 Europa league titles!

Im not convinced that De Zerbi is a good hire for Man United. His system of baiting the opposition into a press to then counter them only works if opposition teams take the bait. Many of the weaker clubs in the premier league will be happy to stay deep and take the point and i don't think de zerbi has an effective solution to this issue. Brighton losing 3-1 I believe to West Ham comes to mind as an example of this. I think nagelsmann or inzaghi would be better appointments although I'd like to see what ten hag can do next season in the last year of his contract also.

When are you gonna drop the naglesmann vid?

If a fanbase is as divided as Man Utd's, then something isn't right.... All I want to see is improvements, I don't care who the coach is.... Nice Video Btw

I'd like to see nagelsmann takeover if ten hag does get sacked. Hopefully he plays the likes of dan gore, fletcher, oyedele, amass, forson and vitek next season. These lads can make up the squad depth of the team if we sell the unwanted players.

Can a Klopp or Pep do any better with this bunch? None of Utd players will start for City, that’s a fact. Stick with ETH. Sick with this irregular cycles of changing managers.

Biggest facts ever

You never saw maguire take the goalkicks against Bournemouth ?. Hes literally been doing it all season. United problem is he hasnt had a settled team ALL season. As you said the other day you want dalot to invert and bisaka to play as the wing back ( you cant talk about players who arent available) because that would defeat the object of your complaints seems he hadnt had his first tesm out apart from the west ham game.

I want either De Zerbi or Nagelsman. De Zerbi probably better considering the players we have.

Based on the news and rumours, it would be more like Potter or De Zerbi. What’s your thoughts on Potter ?

Motta will be brilliant imo

It takes more than just tactics to be a manager though and De Zerbi doesn't have any experience with managing big egos like we have in the squad

While I agree de Zerbi is a wily tactician, I doubt he would be able to handle being manager of a huge club like United. You need huge personalities to handle the pressures at United. Otherwise you get swallowed up and spat out. I like what Inzaghi and Xabi Alonso is doing, especially Xabi now he hasnwon the Bundesliga. I doubt even Xabi would want to come to United given its problems now he has the pick of where he wants to go to as coach.

Regardless of the fact that I like Ten hag, I still ask myself why and how the likes of De zerbi and Ange can still exhibit their identities while using similar or worse players compared to ETH but ETH can't, is he just failing to coach the patterns into his players?

Man United needs a manager with character ten hag is soft .. besides tactics Pep, Klopp and Dezerby have the character that makes the fan's go wild and motivates the player's on the field.

Don't really see it with de zerbi. When he wins he's flooded with compliments then he loses 2 and nor a word is said. Plus I've seen naive set ups .

I thinkThiago Motta is suite for united

Nah bruv this ain’t it

Can De zerbi get Maguire,mctominay,casemiro play tikitaka football in tight spaces?

Bro imo Eth should stay for one more season because of the shithole we're in rn the best of the best coaches would fail. So give this guy one more season until we sort our structural changes by that time if he can't make the team better then all parties wouldn’t be sad by parting ways.

Youve mentioned 1 part of the game in possession to determine that de zerbi is a perfect coach for united. Even ignoring how he works OOP, during transition moments, how he his pattern dependant gameplay is limiting at the top level and has no experience at the top level dealing with big egos, you glance over actual issues with his in possession structure. His in possession ideas are depednant on high presses, and he massively struggles with low blocks and mid blocks. Look at the west ham games this season, and his game against roma where he lost 4-0. West ham employed a low block in both games he couldnt deal with and de rossi absolutely outclassed him with a zonal narrow midblock that left him with nothing. more and more top level teams are swithcing to a hybrid press, where they only go to an aggressive man to man press when certain pressing triggers are met, and the rest of the time they sit in a mid block. De zerbis system has nothing for this. If we want to employ a coach capable of teaching the lads to artificially transition, you could employ McKenna, and thered be no less garuntee that he could do the job. De zerbi isnt ready for the top level yet, he needs a Tottenham, a dortmund etc. A stepping stone club to help him deal with his issues in possession.

You literally just explain a De Zerbi system that would never work with united. You think we have defenders that can do this? Our defenders that treat the ball like lava

De Zerbi is definitely my number 1 choice.

I will choose nagelsmann

If only ten hag could fix our defence we probably be good

Unfortunately the only option for Man Utd is to keep ETH for another season. With Bayern, Barcelona and Liverpool all looking for new managers. Would any of the top managers go to Man Utd ahead of those 3 clubs? Man Utd will end up with a crap manager again.

Just make a How Southgate or Potter would transform this team. Thats the reality.

Why have no one mention zidane

ETH in

i think ETH will stay

I remember you making a clip like this on eth. You said he would be great for the club. Now we are on another clip and in 2 yrs you might do another. Fans have backed the signings of our managers so hypothetically we are to blame for failed managers. How can we have faith in content like this if we keep messing up. I was excited to get eth. Fans and you tubers blowing eth horn and now apparently he isn't the man for job. Back on the merry go round we go. I don't think changing mangers is going to work. Eth has done good with his tactics in many games. Individual mistakes cost us. Players need the chop. Also they can't seem to follow tactics. Players not tracking back. Casimiro, rashford, ganacho being the worst. It's the players that make the manager look bad. It's been the same for years with all management after fergie. Eth has done a couple of bad signing him self to. So did fergie. Keep the manager and with INEOS involvement let's give our guy more time 👍

you need to get rid of so many spoilt apples "players" from United first

Just become united Manager😂

As a top 4 squad we want to be challenging for the league next season not delay tactics like Southgate or Potter or EtH cos we'll be better off with Ole or Outsider like Zidane than EtH cos EtH lacks people skills meaning wrong type of manager to take charge of our club. DeZerbi should stay at Brighton, Una Amery suits Aston Villa. The advice we're prepare to offer is EtH & his team should pack their bags & go back to Ajax to reinvent himself! Keep it in the family!

I'm with you 100% Roberto de Zerbi will be a very good idea since he knows the league now

I am still shocked by the people who are still backing Ten Hag. If it weren't for Rashford carrying us the whole of last season, things would be different now. Since the first game against Wolves, we have kept on being exposed to the same issues. We can assume that there is no attempt to fix even the obvious ones. We can't score goals, can't defend, and can't even complete 4 passes without getting dispossessed, and I believe this is down to coaching. Some of these players definitely need to go, and the manager should follow them too. I believe RDZ is the best choice as his tactics have already been proven to work in the EPL

They need Harry Potter not Graham Potter to sort this team out - Please get Rid of Rashford; I cannot bare to watch him for 4 more years its depressing.

to all fellow united fans,same time after two years?

How can a manager not have a coherent style when they were known for a particular style while at ajax This is not the first time that we will see this, even the ragnick that have been mentioned in this comment thread has said the players need to go. Most of them are not fit enough or strong enough to play elite football. How many united players have left man united to a bigger club in stature? The issue with united is that the squad is not good enough to be on the high standard a club like man united is expected to have. Then when the players give performances that is on their level, the coach is blamed. If the coach now decides to give tactics that fits the level of the squad, the fans will say the coach is too defensice and playing dinosaur football

im gonna download and save all of your video about how de zerbi will be a good manager at united then i will come back when we are in the same situation again with the same player we have..i hope im wrong but if the same thing happen again then you are the delusional thinking sacking ten hag is the right choice

I really want to see how any other manager can implement the same tactics consistently when the defence has 30 over combinations this season AND having a legacy of players from previous eras of managers. Not to mention armchair youtube backseating managers. We see him doing wonders with the youth team. THAT will be his team in future bred from a young age to his system. I think i gonna stop watching these Man Utd analysis videos for this season. Because it's all disguised emotional frustration. Sounds logical at the time but it's seeing the forest but missing the trees. Some things in life no point analysing. It's like when you lost a loved one and your boss comes in to analyse your poor performance and talks about the little tiny steps of the job that can be improved and he has not even bothered to check if something in your personal life has been bothering you.

The player is bad not manager 😡😡😡

Every analyze you make you are ignoring the human factor. Typical Football Manager/Stats type of solutions that will never work. United players are only better than Brightons on paper. But Brighton is the number one brigde to that next huge contract at a bigger club. At United bar a couple younger players they have already achieve it. They are set for life. A big contract also turns these idiots into big egoes. Only a handfull of managers can handle this and continue making these divas motivated after the new manager purple patch, and fight for the big titles. I doubt any laptop manager can do this. They need a massive amount of charisma as well as tactical knowledge.

We could resuscitate Cruyff himself and use all the systems possible, old and new, we'll face the same problem. The problem with Ten Hag is not him but the players. You can see it week in week out, young players launch by him stick to the system and perform very well. In another hand, experienced players are disappointing and seem to not care. I support Erik Ten Hag!!

Another day of pushing De Zerbi respectfully Nagelsmann is my shout
