Eric Ten Hag’s Manchester United has improved a lot since Ronaldo unceremoniously left the club. The team has surprisingly defeated Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the Premier League.
It must have now been evident that Manchester United’s main problem was the Portuguese star, Cristiano Ronaldo. His presence in the team really frustrated the players and drew the team backward.
The Portuguese had his contract terminated with Manchester United after he granted a shocking interview to Piers Morgan in which he lampooned and embarrassed the club and its players.
Manchester United had been performing woefully while Ronaldo caused so much instability in the team. He often complained and at times disobeyed the head coach Eric Ten Hag.
While participating in the recently concluded FIFA World Cup, Ronaldo granted the interview. And subsequently, the club decided to terminate the contract.
One would have expected the Red Devil’s performance to continue to nosedive. Otherwise is the case as the team organised itself and made as many points as possible.
Eric Ten Hag’s Manchester United has made it to the semifinals of Carabao cup, and at the same time the team overwhelmingly beat Everton in the FA Cup.
In the English Premier League, Manchester United hasn’t lost or drawn any match since the Premier League returned after the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Of course, Manchester United has played against so-called small teams including Bournemouth, Burnley, Wolves, Everton and Charlton. The resurgence of the Manchester club was emphasized when it hosted local rival Manchester City at the Old Trafford.
Eric Ten Hag’s Manchester United came from behind in the second half to beat the visitors. Captain Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford saw the back of the net within five minutes to hammer the visitors.
It’s clear that Eric Ten Hag’s Manchester United has sporadically improved. The team may soon be among the contenders for the title several years after the last one.
