Year 1

Erik ten Hag’s first season at Manchester United was marked by optimism and notable signings.

The arrivals of Casemiro and Christian Eriksen created a formidable midfield partnership, providing both experience and creativity.

Casemiro, a multiple Champions League winner with Real Madrid, brought a winning mentality, while Eriksen added technical flair and vision.

The addition of Lisandro Martinez, another key signing, quickly endeared him to fans with his tenacity, defensive prowess, and leadership qualities.

Ten Hag’s tactical acumen was evident as he managed to extract a 30-goal season from Marcus Rashford.

Rashford’s resurgence under ten Hag was a highlight, seemingly showcasing the manager’s ability to inspire players to reach their potential.

The team’s third-place finish in the Premier League was an impressive achievement, especially when capped off with a Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle.

This triumph marked United’s first trophy since 2017, revitalizing a fanbase starved of success.

However, the foundations of this successful campaign were not as solid as they appeared, and underlying issues began to emerge.
