Ten Hag really chose to give these losers a chance despite RR saying the club needed open heart surgery and up to 10 new players.

He deserves this.

I agree but what should he have done? He was never going to get 10 new players

What I want to know is when Utd lose to Liverpool 0-5 next week at the bottom of the table will ETH be sacked? He had the whole pre season, Lisandro looks like a flop, chasing de jong the whole summer, team somehow looks worse than last season

There was only one Ajax player Ten Hag should have tried to bring over: Gravenberch. Unfortunately for him, Gravenberch knew better and went to Bayern.

He's otherwise too in love with his former Ajax players. Lisandro Martinez was a terrible signing for a league full of tall, physical forwards like this one.

it's too early to say that.

martinez' problem is that he is slght of frame too. most brehs on here would think they could beat martinez but most woouldn't want to fight rooney.

wayne rooney is also "only" 5'9" but he never had any issues challenging for, and winning, headers. he dominated.

martinez has gotta hit the gym.

even shorter players like xavi and scholes are more robust than martinez.

Martinez should be converted to CDM.
