In this video, Sam takes a full scope of how this season has gone so far whilst also acknowledging the weaknesses we've seen that need to be addressed this summer in order for us to progress further under Ten Hag next season.

Ten Hag has done incredible things with United. He's a real Genius. So happy we have him as our manager 🙌🏾

The return of Amad diallo is also important.

Quality as always. 2 loan players starting, players shattered being overplayed, no goal scoring number 9 or back up 😅 all the boys and ETH doing superb 😊❤🇾🇪🇳🇱🇳🇱🇳🇮👍🏆🏆🏆

Ten Hag 's next few games are going to be tough with tiredness ,injury and red card will really test United's resolve. But Ten Hag has improved every player including bench players. But as you say we need more depth to cover for injury form and the Number of extra games United's success has created. Smart spending like Casemiro and Erickson. better value for money rather than the Pogba Ronaldo debacles. United can afford to buy 2 or 3 players for the price of a super star.

Keep up the good work Sam

Loved the analysis! I think if you don’t have a strong midfield to exercise control, you become a transitional team by default and can only play in moments. Can’t wait for casemiro and eriksen to be back

Keane said since the Barcelona match the performances have not been good. And he's 100% right. It's his job to look at things critically and not as a optimistic fanboy. this season's results are in line with the amount of money spent, which was more than any other club. FFP will be a problem going forward.

Ten Hag is a very clever coach and an absolute winner. He probably has already planned his summer target signings and the players that have got to go. Ten Hag is setting up a squad which will definitely compete for the title and Champions League next season.

Feels so nice to watch man utd big up to ETH our team is unstoppable now, the new owners must back him to buy good players firstly Victor Osimhen his a warrior we need him

Great analysis. Getting through these games (22 in 3 months) with this level of success, considering the injuries,suspension and current squad,is miraculous......

So glad we can finally rest then come back for what will be another busy schedule. We have done well with busy schedules and I have faith in ten Hag recuperating and going on a wnning run again.

Thanks Sam for all of your feeds to date... Have to say I watch 4 different channels that discuss Man United but always enjoy your a appetite of discussion on all topics. It's a dream start for Manchester United and at this stage I think ETH take a bow and you've been true to your words. Amazing transformation from last year... On a separate note - I love watching the old Boss " Sir Alex" happy enjoying the many comebacks this season, must be nice to be a supporter for all of many wonderful years Fergie gave us. ETH probably already knows the football stars he wants this summer and they definitely will turn into stars with his guidance as have with Casemiro and Eriksen. Yes there is a lot of dead-wood players in Man untied that needs to be sold.. Hopefully they are moved on and we can get back to Challenging for the League and the Champions League!!! Wow can't believe we are finally back to winning ways!

I clearly understand where you're coming from. I said at the beginning of the season that it would come down to the teams squad due to the World Cup. Now you look at a game every 3 days, and that will take its toll on any team. So where we are now, you can give ETH massive credit

Hi Sam I from South Africa. I love watching your channel because you are the only one gives the fan base real and exciting news. Your research is absolutely above board. I see the passion that you have for Man United just like me. Uncluding my both sons. Just to let you know I am a United fan from the age of 16 yrs and now am almost 69 yrs I have also had an opportunity to be coached by one of the greats. "Sir Stanley Matthew. Being a striker one thing that i was taught is that when I approach the sticks I must pick up my head before I kick the ball .It only take only not even a second .That is how became a successful goal scorer. I am hoping the Bennie Mc Carthy also apply the same principal by training our strikers just by picking up their head before kicking the ball which takes 1 seconds we will be scoring more goals than any team 😅in the Premier League.I am sure how many times you may have witnesses that our strikers are looking down at the ball before kicking and miss scoring goals. I am hoping that Ten Hag see this comment. After "Sir Alex Ferguson. The Hag is our best choice. Thank you Sam that you have always been so informative. I am hoping that one day I may be able to come to Old Trafford and also meet ypu personally. Keep up the great work. Die Hard Man United supporter.

Great show, Sam. Indeed .. superb!!

World Class Striker highly needed + DDG's replacement to move to the NEXT STEP in Man Utd's revolution 🇲🇺

ST + 2 CM/DM + CB + RB IN THE SUMMER!!!!

Nice analysis! Agree with it completely 👍

Thank you for the video. Cheers

I guarantee there's a quality, cheap option out there. We should look in the Brazilian, Portuguese, Spanish & French leagues.

ETH has maximized the potential of the current squad…pretty amazing

Maguire and mctominay both massively effect and regress utd. McT hides in possession and is always caught ahead of the ball when opposition attacks. Maguires slow passing puts pressure on bissaka and de gea. Lack of pace forces rb and martinez to drop deeper

still cant get over the fact that since eriksen left tottenham he has won trophies even after everything he has been through

I think what Ten Hag has achieved so far is nothing short but miraculous. No one expected us to be where we are at the beginning of the season yet look where we are. Also look at what Ten Hag has had to deal with aswell throughout the season. This man has installed relentless discipline that togetherness that never say die attitude that resilience. Yeah we may not play well in every game but we're grinding out results which is the most important. Best thing of all is that Ten Hag always demands more is never satisfied always demanding more from his players. Exactly how it should be. There's always room for improvement & we do need to add a few players to give our squad better strength in-depth. These are the signings I hope we make GK : Verbruggen CB : Ndicka CDM : Andre/Ugarte/Levia CM : Gabri Viela & Sabitzer ST : Kane/Osimhen Sell Henderson Maguire Martial McTominay Williams Telles Tuanzebe Bailly I can see us going big on signing a world class striker but also sign top class young talents like those I've mentioned. Greenwood could yet come back aswell

Indeed we are 👊💪

Personally I think we need 6 signings, especially when you take in to consideration Maguire, McTominay and Martial possibly going as well as Weghorst and Sabitzer going back to their parent clubs. 2 strikers (like Man City did last summer), 2 midfielders, centre back and depending on whether Ten Haag want both right backs, another rb.

Hi Sam love the drive u have in this video in putting somethings in to perspective. Yeah we have dragged our ass across the line sometimes but we’re still winning we have well over achieved this season lost 2 key players over the time we needed them. Jst think when ETH is 75% done in to his rebuild we will be some team he jst needs to be backed properly from youth to first team can’t wait till his system is in place in there all playing the ETH way. Thanks as always sam for ur info in video till 2mo morning bud ✌️

Let's hope for new owners before the window collapses

Hi sam can please do video on which player's can Manchester united sign under new owners

Very succinctly put, and couldn't agree more. In addition to McT, Martial and Maguire.... Telles, Williams, Bailly, Henderson and Elanga should all be moved on in the summer. That should generate ~£100m. Hopefully enough to get a #9.

love the rashy in the back 😂

Spot on.

I feel so sad remembering that Ole turned a deaf ear when it came to signing Jude from Birmingham. Now see the figures

MU is doing a great work with playing so many games wit small rest intervals. Bruno is de Man to lead as captain

Agree, ten hag is an absolute bawler. Back him to the end, trim the squad by removing the dead wood and add more quality and depth to the squad. Need reinforcements in the midfield because that is where we lack the most in terms of squad depth, bring in two strikers and backup Centre Back. Incoming : kane, sessko, caseido/ rice/ maxon, tielamans, keep sabitzer, and timber or antonio silva. Outgoings: henderson, maguire, williams, jones, telles, mctomine, donny, elanga.

Very impressive by ten hag. Given the time that Arteta has had I’m convinced he’d do even better and with investment he’ll be unstoppable. GGMU

Sevilla just sacked their manager. Get ready for the new manager bounce in the Europa League

1000% agreed, M.U. is on fire

Erik ten Hag is THE MAN!!!!

Ron Keane was bang out of order with the comment. These players are fatigued, it's not hard to see

My concern about sales is players current wages may make sales v difficult eg Martial and Maguire reportedly on 200k pw

Roy didn’t want Ten Hag and he backed Ronaldo over Ten Hag so he’s gonna criticize him and his tactics any chance he gets. Loved him as a captain but not as a pundit.

We need five new quality players this summer. Yes, five. Two strikers, two midfielders, and a center back. One of the midfielders has to be a defensive unit to back Case whenever he's out injured or suspended and then the other can be the ball controller/carrier plus we need to sign Sabi permanently. Harry Kane and Evan Ferguson are my suggested striker duo, Enzo Le Fee and either Palhinha or Amrabat and then Kim Min Jae as center back. That will be an absolute dream summer window. On the other hand though, Martial, Werghost, Elanga, Mctominay, Telles, Maguire, Jones, Bailly, Williams, Henderson and Heaton all have to be gotten rid off in order for us to actually move to that next level. It will be very important that we sell all the rubbish players and bring in the right ones.

❗️TELL ME WHAT YOU ALL THINK ABOUT THIS: The fixture date for the 2nd leg of the Europa league quarter final against Sevilla and the FA CUP semi final against Brighton is just beyond me. How can we play on a Thursday night and be ready to go again on a Saturday afternoon? How?? The people responsible for this fixture arrangement are crazy!! That FA cup semi final should be played on Sunday for crying out loud. Unfair, just unfair. I’m sure Brighton will Be delighted with the fixture list we’re having, plus the amount of travels we will have to make from Seville back to Manchester and from Manchester to London under how many hours? I’m not even sure we will have a full training session on Friday because of how congested the fixture list is. The people responsible for the fixtures arrangements should do better please!!

When we finally get new owners then United will really take off!

Hoping for good news today sam fingers crossed.

The issue for me, is the simple basic errors u dont expect from these players with this salary. we do alot of errors running with the ball close to feet, driving the ball with speed. The curious thing is also this errors happen even though they are not pressed and with a lot of space around, we just miss or do bad touch and loose our momentum. we did the same errors under Ole too, not able to keep the ball close to feet. u expect this to improve with some seasons, but then the habbits is back again, ive commented it before and i wonder why it is, because u do not forget skills, u can have a bad day, but the skills u dont forget, u teach this skill since ur a kid. its like we have become lazy and then need to leam again. I remember someone adressed this, it wass maybe Ragnick who hired coaches to teach the squad basic football skills. I very often feel after a game that most of the teams in PL is actually better at it, the training or coaching part and i wonder why this is not the for united? We were very often 1 - 0 down at Half time, and we still are and have to bounce back. I know how much we have improved and archieved under Ten Hag and im exited about whats next, but i think this is what keane means, and i think this "habbits" need to be removed and changed to go to next level, beat it into their minds. we struggle against the lower table teams, and beat the best, even ole performed better against the teams higher up in the table, then the lower. i want this to change. we are facing fullham again, and imagine the fire they will have in that game, even brentford will be difficult one. this teams is what im more worried about then facing City. the reason for me why i trust Ten Hag is the fact that he too seemed annoyed about this against fullham and mentioned it in the interview after the game. They need to push the players more in training, they need to really beat this into their heads. and i think we had a period now where we became lazy and i think Ten Hag too realize. we can not do this mistakes if we wanna compete for the major titles, we gotta have better skills and be more cool in the decision making. be professional. This is the one part of th game that has been annoying and i really expect to change from now on. GGMU

he needs at least £300M in the summer, need qatar ownership now

Höjberg whats his name from Totenham is a very good defensive player, i doubt they would let him go

Osinhem would fit in just like haarland no doubt

I’m happy for whoever ETH wants to sign. He’s not been wrong in any of his signings so far. Bought a blend of young, experienced and bordering worldclass (Martinez). I don’t want Jude, he’s a good player but for that price he’s not worth it. Rather trust ETH to find a gem in that position, in fact I’d love us to get Paulinha from Fulham as cover and rotation for Casemiro. I’d also prefer Gonçalo Ramos over Osimehn just because he’s a better footballer and he’s scoring goals in a worse team. I wouldn’t turn down osimehn though but Ramos gives me Benzema 2.0 vibes.

We have done brilliantly well given the schedule injuries and suspensions, I will also add without being too disrespectful a CF that wouldn't make the bench in the top 6!

Such a amazing stat bro . Thanks Sam

Mr Tag appears to be a great coach and Manager who will only get better. I would go for Joaa Palhinit of Fulham to add steel in the midfield and Khniha Kuaratskhlia from Napoli who has 13 goals and 15 assist, can press, hold the ball, pass and very quick on the wings the complete package.

I don't think a pure striker is what ten Hag wants. He needs somebody that can play in a number 10 role aswell as 9. I'm not sure which striker fits that role but Weghorst is doing a solid job.

Ten Hag Magic turn AWB to perform well with routine training & playtime.. Maguire & McTominay have chance to prove they can do that.. If Ten Hag trust them so we can rely on that 😁

When the new owners take control, ETH will get who HE needs and that may not be the same as who we'd like. If you want to win a lot of trophies be prepared for a lot of games, we need the equivalent of two first teams.

We need a distinct' Defensive Midfielder....and a Attacking Midfielder...(Camavinga would do nicely 👌)...

we need a better ball player as our false number 9 who will move with the ball exchange passes with Rashford well instead of a striker who will keep waiting for tape ins like Weghorst.

for me we need to bring in a st like osimhen, make weghorst and sabitzer's deals permanent, get another ball-progressing midfielder like frenkie, another rb like frimpong, and another cb or two perhaps (my fav options are tomori or timber)

Im very surpised that Amrabat (Fiorentina) hasnt got more of a mention in terms of midfield options. He was the best midfielder in the world cup in Qatar, an absolute warrior of a player and would fit in with our squad mentality that Ten Hag is building. I think we will get Kane too, I can see Levy using his brain and not his stubbornness this summer, its the last chance theyll have to get a decent fee for him and the new manager there will want to rebuild the mess that Conte has created.

ETH should give a chance to Iqbal who was so good in pre-season, ball-carrying CM ala De Jong

I think Ten hag Will shock everyone by signing someone not well known by the media

I think we should have used Fred #6 & sabitzer

Think ward prowse could do that deeper role wouldn't be that expensive if Southampton get relegated either

Ferguson is a pure number 9 and also a young roomer

No doubt we've had a great turn around this season but let's be honest this team switch off when two or three first team players don't start. We lack qualities expecially in midfield. McTominey and maguire not good enough even as squad players. We need new signings ASAP

Locatelli if so much underrated! United should go for him

Ferggie had 4 strikers(Cole,Yorke,Sherringham & Ole) but TEN HAG has only Weghorst. WE need more players in.

so many things can be done when people acquire, align and act with clear transparent rules... it's ol' and reliable protestant rules

It's good that Roy is not on the board of directors his bad influence could send ETH packing

Mikel Merino would be great alternative to FDJ so would Joey Veerman, Romeo Lavia or Enzo La Fee

I believe Joao Paulinha would be perfect for CM

No way Utd should pay £100m for Kane. We should go for Osimhen for top priority & a central midfielder/ ball progressor are must need

Got to sign an attacking midfielder and a centre forward

sell/let go: Axel, Harry, Victor, Scott, Alex Telles, Eric Bailey, Jones, Henderson, Martial Buy: 1 GK, 1-2 central defender, 1-2 mid fielders, 1-2 strikers! Also which academy kids are moving up? Easy to say ...

Awesome analysis but we should not sell Henderson, he should be the successor of Degea..plus he is good with his feet.

we need to get Vlahovic

I think we need a #9, a deep lying play maker who can take over for Eriksen and an understudy for Casemiro.

This team lost 7-0 a week ago and play well in spells but haven’t given a good full 90 mins since before the final. Progress is great but to prevent going backwards some stern criticism is fair.

Why are we not looking at neves pls?

Before you united can sign we need a total clear out. There are still dead woods in there.

we should go for João Palhinha of Fulham

So much of this depends on who the owners are. We must back ETH as he knows what he's doing. Exits must include: Henderson, Butland (loan expired), Telles and Bailly (loan to permanent), Maguire, Jones, Axel, Williams, McTominay, Elanga Donny and Martial. The Ins, well, we need a GK, CB, two CMs (excluding Sabitzer joining permanently), and a Striker. I would love Costa, Disasi, FDJ, Oana and Osimhen. This excludes the need for a Bruno rotation player. All this depends on who the owners are.

I agree we are ahead of schedule but part of that is cause a lot of the Prem has fallen on their face. We are on the right track tho!

Go get Ferguson from Brighton. What a talent

There's a lot we need to fix,as much as we're winning but I don't see any teem work there,we ain't playing Ajax or 10Hag football. We are dangerous on counter like we did in Ole....

I would make Weghorst permanent as a backup, may as well ten hag likes him, sabitzer on a permanent for depth then I would sign a striker (Osimhen ideally), CM. Kocku is someone i think we should be looking at. Young, creative, reasonable price and room for improvement. A CB, timber or geetruida for rotational options, a GK for the long term maybe Diogo Costa or Onana. Then I’d sell/release the likes of Maguire, Deano, telles, Bailey, Williams, jones,tuanzebe,martial,elanga and Mctominay

Personally, I want the youngsters to come thru in spite of the Qatar money. I hope we don't become another Madrid with Galacticos. We got Kobbie, Garnacho, Pellistri, Diallo, etc etc coming thru. Probably just need a backup for Casemiro like Andre Trindade. And another backup for Eriksen like Maxwell Caqaret

He needs to build first team first this isn't his first team yet...Next season when it starts?

I think we need to buy both Kane & Goncalo Ramo. & keep Ramos at Benfica for another season as a long term solution, if the money isn’t bonkers.

The worldcup has ruined the schedule man, weve been playing and are gonna play a game every 3 days for the whole season. Not even one week of rest.

add Mohammed Kudus

Weaknesses are the lack of quality in the 2nd team, no reliable Right back ane right winger, haven't had a 20+ league goals striker since Van Persie and no back up to Casemiro and Eriksen. Plus either a back up to Bruno Fernandes or a replacement for him since he's close to 30 years. No question we are ahead of the schedule rebuild but we are still far from challenging for the Premier League title. The next season with possible new owners will be pivotal how Ten Hag will take Manchester United to the next level.

Remember Mctominay was converted from a striker to Middlefielder by Mourinho,so maybe we are being too harsh.

Maguire 40 mil? Without stuttering.. brave

Yep you are ap

Can we please stop chasing big names? We need to replace so many sub standard players: Williams, Bissaka, Jones, Maguire, Lindelof, Bailly, Telles, Fred, Mctominay, Van de Beek, Elanga, and Martial. We need an understudy to Casemiro, 3 centre backs, a 10, and a striker, as well as a right back.

You won't see the real caserimo no more...he be to scared to tackle like he normally does..which will impact united defensively and attacking wise..cause one of his traits is winning the ball and making a killer instinct pass ,which gives the fwds an edge
