I sometimes tried to voice support during the long period when Rashford wasn’t performing, so fond I am of our academy lad, for his great feats on&off pitch. I always had hope that he’d re-find form. But I’d be lying if I said I felt he could return at this level. His best yet ❤️

I will never not love the “good with his feet, not-so-good in the air” tall centre forward paradox which Weghorst epitomises. Clever player. Oft drops back into midfield to make important interceptions & has a cute touch. Pep would love him as a false 9. Suits City’s style nicely

Arteta is often that far outside of his technical area, that he may as well be wearing an Arsenal kit. At one point today, he was practically marking Shaw at a throw-in

Competitive 1st half, Arsenal dominated 2nd, and deserved win. United ran out of steam, midweek game seemed a factor. But, as after CPFC, I am disappointed, not upset. Arteta has been at AFC for 3 years; EtH at MUFC, 6 months. I remain delighted with our progress so far with Erik

Most centre halves are just happy to get to that first and then head it towards goal with power. Lisandro Martínez is not most centre halves

Overall, epitomised why MUFC unlikely to vie for title this season. I am good with it, given amazing progress since Brentford. Played lovely one touch stuff in 1st, got sloppy in 2nd half. Consistency & capacity to put games beyond reach will come as we keep improving Ps defo pen

For those who don’t speak Dutch, Mr Cruyff responds saying that Erik will go on to become one of the greatest managers the world has ever seen ❤️

Best thing you’ll see all day… A 13 year old Erik Ten Hag telling Johan Cruyff how a trainer should communicate with his players. See thread for translation.

If EtH made Antony warm up on the pitch at HT to trick Pep into thinking the somewhat compromised Marcus was coming off, only to substitute Martial instead, then Erik’s not only shown his man-management, coaching & tactical proficiency, but that he can also compete in shith0usery

EtH football vision most clear in his use of Shaw. At Ajax, he also had 2 traditionally smaller CBs in Licha & Timber. Playing centrally forces Luke to constantly focus, evidenced by his positioning/repeated scanning. He is comfortable attacking first ball or sitting off, reading

United progressing nicely whilst City do not seem to be quite as consistently the dynamic outfit of recent seasons. The gap, sizeable most years, is starting to lessen. Ten Hag is an elite manager in how he handles situations, big names, and elite coach in how he improves players

Ten Hag clearly let Marcus bring his pillow to today’s prematch team meeting so that he would be well rested for the derby. Rashford, relentless, red

Based on what EtH has been able to achieve with some MUFC players, coupled with Pereira’s impressive form for Fulham, I increasingly suspect that Erik could have worked with Andreas to improve his fortunes at United. Hindsight is 20/20 etc. Regardless, I am glad that he’s shining

Only last week I saw CFC largely dominate MCFC but then MCFC completely outplay CFC days later. So, despite tonight, I fully expect City to be at it Saturday. But MUFC now have fully fit Case, Marcus in fine form, EtH building momentum. Most I’ve looked forward to a derby in ages

Pellistri has received formal January loan offers from both Valencia and Flamengo but the player ideally wants to stay at Manchester United in order to showcase his value to Erik ten Hag. His representative will meet with MUFC directors imminently to discuss the plans for Facundo

I have been very keen to see more of Pellistri. It would feel a shame if he leaves United without being given a proper chance. Any footballer who has already represented his nation at a World Cup by age 21 has something. As Keano says, my eyes don’t lie to me. Facundo is a player
