Premier League 24/25

United are a trainwreck with a mid table level squad. It comes down to that.

I actually think Ten Hag did a good job purely on the management side, but his market work was absolutely dreadful.

With a good SD, he will be successful.

If you believe that very good managers are capable of making mediocre squads over-perform then the opposite must also be true. That is, mediocre managers are more than capable of making very good squads underperform.

Ferguson is a good example of this. The very same squad which won Ferguson his last EPL title is the very same one which Moyes had when he was canned for underperforming relative to expectations. Personally I don’t think that squad was anything special, yet Ferguson got the best out of it, something that mediocre managers such as ETH or Moyes are incapable of at that level.

Let us also not forget that Manchester United has spent more than one billion dollars on player acquisitions over the last 10 years or so. Certainly more than Nottingham Forrest, Bournemouth and Aston, currently sitting at 4th, 5th and 6th place in the EPL, respectively. Their squads are mediocre.

United are 13th in the EPL today.
