All joking aside, is his appointment something that should concern us? I have to ask because I know nothing about the man and if he's joining the rags, I don't particularly want to know, except of course whether of not he poses a threat to our unrivalled supremacy?

He has never played or coached outside of Portugal unless you want to count his stint playing in Qatar on loan. This is the man they feel can get through to Rashford et al.

They are trying to catch lightning in a bottle.

Interesting to look back on what was said about Ten Hag when he was appointed
No doubt it will be very similar to what is said about Amorim

John Murtough, United's football director, said: "During the past four years at Ajax, Erik has proved himself to be one of the most exciting and successful coaches in Europe, renowned for his team's attractive, attacking football and commitment to youth.
"In our conversations with Erik leading up to this appointment, we were deeply impressed with his long-term vision for returning Manchester United to the level we want to be competing at, and his drive and determination to achieve that.
Ten Hag was understood to be the unanimous choice at United following a rigorous recruitment process that was led by Murtough and Darren Fletcher, the technical director.

Richard Arnold, the executive vice-chairman, was also involved and the trio are understood to have agreed Ten Hag was the best candidate for the job.
United were looking for a number of attributes from their new manager, including proven success, a commitment to youth, the ability to improve players and the will to introduce an attractive style of play.

Ten Hag is said to have set out his long-term vision to build a successful and exciting team during conversations with United, in which he is also said to have shown enthusiasm for the challenge he now faces at Old Trafford.

Sky Sports News understands Ten Hag will tell United players he does not want any passengers at the club.
His key message to them will be that he is the manager, there is a new regime and United are going to go back to playing like Manchester United.

If there are any players who are not up for the challenge, they are welcome to leave, but everyone will start with a clean slate. He has not been given any specific targets, but he knows his job is to make United great again.


Ten Hag set out a "compelling long-term vision" for a successful, exciting team.

It’s incredible to think they had conversations with Ten Wanks and were “deeply impressed” with him. He’s obviously completely mental and a massive dickhead. How could anyone be deeply impressed by the ****?
