Erik ten Hag achieved at Manchester United what Ralf Rangnick said he couldn't.

It appears that the manager of Manchester United has turned things around in just five months.

Erik ten Hag takes in his new workplace

 

When Ralf Rangnick left Manchester United at the end of the previous season, the club was in a low valley. He had emphatically failed to live up to the role of "care-taker," and he left Manchester United in this state.

His tenure went so awry that by the end neither party wanted to carry through with the agreement to keep him on as a recruitment lead upstairs. Originally, he was going to stay on. Because of the forthright nature of his opinions regarding the precarious state of affairs at United, there was no opportunity for an affectionate relationship to develop between him and the fans, and more importantly, the players.

There was discord among the team, and everyone's confidence was at an all-time low. Even Rangnick acknowledged this back in May, pointing to their elimination from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid as the moment that marked the beginning of their end-of-season decline.

He said that ever since the game against Atletico Madrid, "we haven't found our shape or form again." "This is a matter of confidence, in addition to mentality and the spirit of the team. The fact that we were unable to foster a particular sense of team spirit is, in my opinion, the single biggest letdown. This is the most important concern.

It was obvious that there was a need for an overhaul, and Erik ten Hag knew that in order to prepare for the start of the new season, he needed to pick up the pieces over the summer. Everyone connected with United was of the opinion that restoring the players' faith in themselves should be the organization's top priority.

However, the cracks that appeared in his team during the previous season reemerged during his first two matches in the Premier League. Even though the preseason looked promising, the team's losses to Brighton and Brentford led to a new level of dissatisfaction from the fans in the stands toward the club's owners.

The loss of faith in the team continued, and this time Ten Hag was present to see the magnitude of the issues firsthand. Since then, however, he has been successful in dramatically turning the tide and has brought them back to the point where they are marching up the hill.

After suffering a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Brentford, Manchester United quickly got back on track by winning four consecutive games in the league, including matches against Liverpool and Arsenal. This enabled United to quickly recover from their stunning loss to Manchester City.

In the meantime, Cristiano Ronaldo has spent most of his time on the bench, but he has not thrown a fit about it despite the fact that he asked to be transferred over the summer.

Because of Ten Hag's efforts, Victor Lindelof made a revealing admission during the press conference that took place on Wednesday in advance of Omonia on Thursday.

According to the defender for Sweden, "I think the feeling in the group is good." We have good people and good players, which contributes to our positive energy. It is essential to have a strong sense of teamwork at all times, and we currently possess that.

This demonstrates that, despite the challenges that United has encountered so far this season, Ten Hag has been successful in completing his first and primary mission in the span of five months during his debut season with United.

Teamwork is an essential component of his reconstruction, and he has already laid the groundwork in advance of an important stretch for United, which includes upcoming matches against Newcastle, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
