A revolution was needed. As Manchester United continue to sink, ending their fifth straight season without a trophy, a shock was needed. This Thursday, he arrived. As expected for several weeks now, the Mancunian club has formalized the arrival of Erik ten Hag next June for a long-term project. The Ajax Amsterdam coach has signed up for three seasons and another one as an option. On the side of Old Trafford, we hope to have finally found the chosen one able to bring MU back into the light. And, for once, it is with a wider field of action than his predecessors that the Dutchman could act. It is therefore through play that Manchester United hopes to wake up. Demoted in the English hierarchy for years, philosophically overtaken by its competitors having decided to bet on long-term projects with all-powerful managers, like Pep Guardiola at Manchester City or Jürgen Klopp at Liverpool, the Mancunian board has resolved giving the keys to the truck to a technician.

Still, the task that is proposed to the Dutchman is colossal. Humiliated on Tuesday by an untenable Liverpool team in recent weeks (4-0), Ralf Rangnick, appointed on a provisional basis after the dismissal of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer last November, had outlined the extent of the work awaiting the Mancunians. “There will be a reconstruction here, he whispered. Six, seven, maybe ten new players will come. Liverpool have better players than us and that was really reflected in today’s result. He there will definitely be a rebuild, that was obvious in the first three or four weeks for me, for us as a coach it’s extremely embarrassing to sit here and have a press conference like this -this”.
