Erik ten Hag signed, sealed and delivered with 5 games still left in the season. Very unlike Manchester United to have our shit in order. Hopefully it's the start of acting like a big club again.

Absolutely delighted with Ten Hag coming in as manager, he is the perfect blend of positional play, attacking football & pressing. I can’t wait to look forward to watching United again. It’s been too long. It will take time, but have faith. #MUFC 🔴🔴🔴
