5 Great Achievements of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford
SportsFila Looks At 5 Great Achievements of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford. In this post, we shall look at five THINGS Erik Ten Hag has fixed at Manchester United!
Man Utd are still at the foundation to become champions again.. But it won’t happen in just 1 season, hopefully those hijackers who run the club could fully support ETH, else this little promising growth we have, will be meaningless, because City, Liverpool, Chelsea, and other teams will only be getting stronger each year.
Here Are 5 Great Achievements of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford
1. Inspiration and Adrenaline
It’s a privilege to see these players battle for Utd. 2 defeats made Erik ten Hag take big decisions and it paid off so far. One thing I don’t understand is how the past managers din’t see things that are known to every fan in the world. Everybody in the world knew Maguire is not good enough yet he played every single game for Rangnick and Ole made the same mistake. Same for mcfred duo yet ten hag started mcfred in the first game of the season which was heartbreaking and we got humiliated. He didn’t need to change 10 things; he only needed to drop maguire.
The priority is to look ahead, as they have the players already and get them integrated like Henderson for De Gea and from the Academy – Even Maguire may have a future, he has to listen to ten Hag and for forget about OGS who was completely out of depth as a Manager. Just buying is not the answer as Man City, Chelsea, and Liverpool can also do this but a good manager.
2. Malacia, Varane, Dalot, and Martinez partnership
Ten Hag also accepted his own part in the outcome by saying: “Don’t get me wrong, managers are responsible as well. It’s a big responsibility and I take that. I will work on that.”
Reconstructing the defence with a Latino-Dutch contingent has secured four successive Premier League wins for the first time since April 2021 and United last won three on the spin away from home in December 2020.
5 Great Achievements of Erik ten Hag at Old Trafford
Diogo Dalot, an improved presence under Ten Hag and one of only two outfield players to have started all eight games, communicates in Spanish with Varane and Martinez, Portuguese with Antony and the King’s with Scott McTominay.
There’s definite progress in the last 4 couple of matches, but Man UTD is long way from dethroning Mancity or Liverpool
The manager’ lineup changes wrestled some control back for the Reds. Raphael Varane, Tyrell Malacia and Scott McTominay helped shore things up as the tempo slowed under the beating sun.
United started to pass the ball around with more decisiveness, but Brentford’s high press and explosive pace remained a constant threat on the break.
Despite carving open a couple of decent opportunities for Ronaldo and a late chance for Eriksen, it was very much damage limitation for the Reds.
3. Rashford transformation
ETH knows Rashford’s strengths and weaknesses. For Example, Marcus Can’t dribble. No 1v1 skills. Just goes through the motions until he loses it near the box. Ten Hag is teaching Rashford to use his speed. He needs to learn how to lob passes if he can’t dribble. Rashie is as quick as Mbappe and can possibly shoot as well but he can’t create space for himself like KM.
Ten Hag had decided to drop the United captain Maguire whom he agreed was a “first choice” centre-back only a month earlier in Melbourne. Luke Shaw, one of three England players to have scored in a major final and United’s best player two seasons ago, was discarded for Tyrell Malacia and Anthony Elanga replaced Cristiano Ronaldo.
The boldness of those calls was accentuated by the opponents: Liverpool. The fixture had loomed ominously for United fans and in the aftermath of Brentford looked terrifying. Yet United overwhelmed one of the best club teams of the last five years, feeding off a mutinous and raucous atmosphere in a breakneck first 20 minutes.
This Is How Erik Ten Hag Turned Manchester United Into A BEAST.
4. Self-confidence
Erik Ten Hag outlined one of the main objectives now is to improve the team’s self-belief and response to adversity.
“That’s our job,” he said in his post-match press conference. “So we have to work on that. We have to encourage them, but also they have to get it by themselves because they know they are good players. Now we have to be a team and take responsibility.”

Ten Hag and his coaches will work on the training pitch and the analysis room ahead of a huge fixture in eight days’ time.
“Yes, the training pitch is one thing but it’s clear, and we will do the analysis, we have to improve. This is not good.

5. Pitch layout at Old Trafford
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has switched the home and away dugouts at Old Trafford.
Upon visiting the Theater of Dreams for the first time in May, Ten Hag recognised the need to make the change and United have granted his request.
There are several reasons for the switch which was first suggested when he was given a tour of the stadium by United’s football director John Murtough.
The home dugout will now be closer to the tunnel. It will also be closer to where the substitutes warm-up during the match and the Stretford End.
The Old Trafford dugouts are now in the same half of the pitch in which the respective home away sides warm-up before games.
United explained the change on their official website. “In a new lay-out agreed with Erik, the home and away dugouts have been permanently switched so that the United manager, staff and substitutes will now be sat in the seats to the west of the half-way line – the dugout previously occupied by the away team,” the article read.

‘Compelling title race a relief for Premier League’
This weekend will be the 10th time that the Premier League title has been decided on the final day of the season.
But rarely before will those in charge of the competition have been so grateful for a captivating conclusion to the campaign.
Liverpool’s challenge ultimately faded, scuppering their fans’ dreams of a triumphant farewell for departing manager Jurgen Klopp and the prospect of an unprecedented three-way battle going the full distance.
But Manchester City or Arsenal will be crowned champions in the final act of what has been a classic duel.
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal is back to Winning ways
Sunday may not provide the unforgettable drama of 2012’s last day, which saw massive fans’ participation at MT online sportsbooks, when Sergio Aguero’s stoppage-time winner sealed a first Premier League title for City. But whether it ends with a record fourth consecutive title for the champions or a first in 20 years for Arsenal, league bosses, broadcasters and neutrals will have the special finale they hoped for.
Off the field, however, these have been troubled times for the top flight.
The points deductions handed to Everton and Nottingham Forest this season for breaching financial rules have been hugely contentious, the punishments – and subsequent appeals – leading to uncertainty over the league table, resentment by fans and fears that the relegation battle could be decided by the rulings of commission panels.
While both teams have ultimately stayed up, the controversy surrounding the profit and sustainability regulations (PSR) is not going away.
Newly promoted Leicester City have been charged with breaking spending rules when they were in the top flight (and are now taking legal action against the league), while Chelsea have also been under investigation.
And 16 months after City were charged with more than a hundred rule breaches, a hearing in their case is not thought to be scheduled until the autumn, contributing to the mounting scrutiny of the league’s governance and processes.
While City deny wrongdoing, a sixth league triumph in seven years would only intensify questions over the fairness of how they assembled their squad over several seasons, the time the case has taken, and whether the club’s wealth has distorted the competitiveness of the league, alongside admiration for the team and their coach.
Meanwhile, a split has emerged between clubs over plans to introduce a new spending cap, and the Premier League is facing the threat of more legal action from one of its members over amended rules around associated party transactions.
As if all that was not enough to contend with, the league’s chief executive Richard Masters has also warned of the “unintended consequences” of the forthcoming independent football regulator, amid mounting criticism of the failure by his clubs to agree a new financial settlement with the English Football League (EFL).
The Premier League is also known to be deeply concerned about the increasingly congested calendar, with Masters recently warning of a “tipping point”, after criticism following the scrapping of FA Cup replays. The league has also admitted that the VAR system must improve after a series of controversies.
With the title race going right to the wire, Sunday’s final-day drama will provide a welcome distraction from such matters for Masters and his colleagues – but, one suspects, only a temporary one.
Clock ticking for Commonwealth Games
A few weeks ago in Birmingham, Katie Sadleir, the head of the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), told me that any further delay beyond May in announcing a host for the 2026 event would be “very problematic”.
Since then Glasgow has emerged as a possible back-up option if no replacement is found for Victoria in Australia, which pulled out last year, plunging the event into crisis.
But there has still been no official announcement by the CGF.
Insiders claim they remain hopeful a host will be confirmed in the next two weeks, but the clock is ticking.
Super League heading stateside?
The National Rugby League (NRL) season kicked off in the US for the first time in March, with a Premiership double-header staged at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas as part of a multi-year deal designed to grow the sport in the US.
So could Super League clubs follow suit?
Talks have taken place over the Club World Challenge being staged in the US, and some Super League bosses are keen on regular season matches being part of the tie-up too.
Wigan and Warrington played each other in Milwaukee 35 years ago, albeit as an exhibition match. And with rugby league currently ‘re-imagining’ itself as part of a 12-year deal with agency IMG intended to boost its appeal, anything seems possible.

The fact that Southgate is on that list tells how serious you should take it
No manager on earth could do anything with Manchester United until Someone takes responsibility for the club and has a viable plan for the future.
Manchester Derby PREDICTIONS By SportsFila: Man Utd vs City
Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his INEOS group, the club’s new partial owners, are exploring options to assume the role. According to Team Talk, the Red Devils are considering the 41-year-old as a candidate for the manager position.
After achieving success as a player with Barcelona, Inter, and Paris Saint-Germain, winning numerous titles, the two-time Champions League winner transitioned to coaching at the senior level.

ESPN loves ManUtd. As much they say that they hate talking about ManUtd they can’t stop talking about ManUtd 😅😅. They have spend 15 mins speaking on rumours – Hypocrites.
Sack Ten Hag Now: Man Utd Fan Makes Bold Claim
It’s not Ten Hag fault when players like rashford do not put in all the effort after signing a new contract. Also ten hag had to deal with incredible amount of injuries which ESPN deliberately overlooks. So getting another manager isn’t going to solve anything.
It’s so funny how the English media fails to realize that the structure & the players is the problem at united…..but they trying to sack ETH who is an elite manger under a proper management structure 💯
The best manager that seems to be being overlooked shouod be n1 on the list for bayern utd liverpool is someone inzaghi. Hes done great things with Lazio and inter. Loads of experience and has got to european finals and won domestic leagues.
Manchester City 3-1 win over United in Manchester Derby.
It is very different getting an underdog /dark horse to perform vs going to an environment where the spotlight in on you everyday from day 1. The same thing happened at Bayern with a couple of their coaches…
Afcon 2024 victory is well deserved for Ivory Coast they left no stone unturned and they dominated throughout. If there is a one person who deserved to win the AFCON it was Sebastian Haller. In 2022, he was diagnosed with cancer but he recovered and he returned to play football in 2023 only to bottle the Bundesliga title on the final matchday to Bayern but here we are in 2024 where he scored the winner in the AFCON final to win Cote d’Ivoire AFCON title so congratulations🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮🏆

But Ivory Coast won fair and square. They played better. Congratulations champs.
What Adingra did in the African Cup of Nation was phenomenal. Nigerians will remember him as a nighmare forever. The boy has a great future ahead of him.

Haller beats cancer, then comes to the AFCON and scores the most important goal in the final, the winning goal what a beautiful story for that man and Ivory coast, congratulations to them👏👏
Congratulations to Ivory Coast from cameroonian👏👏👏you organized and won the most beautiful AFCON in story, unbelievable achievment when we look how things went for you.
One of the best tournaments I’ve seen.

Congratulations to Côte d’Ivoire who never gave up and believed and implemented their progress towards goal as much as possible until the last second in this tournament. Kudos to Nigeria for high yield and quality.
Thank you for making the spectators so emotional and congratulations and best wishes to the Ivory Coast and the Ivorian people.

Thanks for your company.
The night has only just started in Abidjan.
Congratulations to Ivory Coast for winning the Africa Cup🏆! The team showed strength and desire to win and to not give up until the end. And the fans were absolutely amazing
P.s Haller deserved it the most, since he suffered a lot.
The story of Côte d’Ivoire’s victory in the African Nations is one of the most beautiful stories in the history of football. We sympathized with this team’s version a lot and we will tell it to our children in the future 🧡
