I love how all excited their fans got by a couple of a preseason results. Reasons why I never get excited by pre-season. They are training games, they are relaxed. Good players will shine in those games because they can because there is no real pressure. Its the league games, with the crowd already anxious and the pressure is really on that's what makes you as a player and all of these players bar Ronaldo have shown they cannot hack that pressure.
Ten Haag is a very good coach but he is not going to make McTominay a Man U player, Fred a Man U player, turn Maguire into Vidic or Ferdinand, make Luke Shaw slim. I thought maybe he could do something with Rashford but Rashford just looked the same, no improvement.
He is going to need to sell and buy and it will take a lot of time.
If Arnautivic(SP) is his answer then Ten Haag has even bigger problems.
Ten Haags teams are all about high press, high energy but I saw nothing of that yesterday. I saw the same as we saw under the last guy a manager who wants his team to press but players who don't seem to understand when to press or how to do it.
