While negotiations continue, Tenhag is already very close to United's position as manager, with the Daily Telegraph saying that Tenhag's progress as United's new manager is 99% complete.
Earlier, The Athletic star David Ornstein confirmed that Tenhag had reached a verbal agreement with Manchester United and that the two sides were about to sign a four-year contract. Italian star Romano said United will pay a €2 million severance fee, an official announcement that will be announced after the dutch cup final and Tenhag's coaching team will be finalized at the right time.
The determination of a new manager is certainly a good thing, and Tenghag is also the most optimistic one that Manchester United can currently hire. Next, United can also move forward in other aspects of related work, such as building a team.
First of all, Manchester United need to draw up a list of reinforcements under the guidance of the new manager and start the relevant preparations in advance; secondly, Manchester United need to clarify which players in the team are suitable for Tenhag's tactical play and do a good job of squad cleaning in advance. Compared with these two tasks, the second item is the foundation and the first thing that needs to be solved. The reason is simple, only by cleaning up first can we make room for new recruits. And the cleanup can also raise reinforcement funds, and with the original budget, Manchester United can try to bring in players who are in the top position.
At the moment we certainly don't know which players are in Tenhag's plans, but the most discussed player in recent times is Ronaldo. The point of contention is that Tenghag is also a head coach with high requirements for running ability. His tactical play can be summed up in the following 3 points: vitality, radicalism and richness.
This season, Tenhag will use the 4231 and 433 formations more often, as well as the 4411 formations in defensive conversions. However, in the eyes of some people, Tenghag is actually more enthusiastic about a pseudo-442 style of play. But no matter what the formation, Tenghag attaches great importance to running ability. He asked everyone on the field to run with all their might, because his offensive style of play was more aggressive and required multiple people to play the most powerful. Under this tactical requirement, C Luo's physical fitness has become a big hidden danger.
However, whether it is during the Solskjaer era or after Ronnick took office, Cristiano Ronaldo is very resistant to the rotation of the head coach. One of Lonnick's substitutions directly made C Ronaldo mad, and a rotation also caused a huge controversy. Tenhag's tactical philosophy is similar to Lonnick's, but the former is not the interim manager. His contract was signed for 4 years and he certainly wouldn't compromise on this issue and put himself in the awkward position of his ex.
Judging from previous reports from the outside world, the vast majority of people also hold similar views, but some people have expressed different views.
Earlier, a Dutch football insider, speaking on condition of anonymity, said: "Tenhag would love to have someone with experience to help his young players – both on and off the pitch. Every player has a specific role in his team and if they can't do their job well then they won't be selected. But Tenhag doesn't want 11 robots, he wants people who can lead by example in the locker room. ”
"He's happy to have someone who can help him mold talented young players to show them how to train properly, how to eat properly and how to live the life that a professional footballer should have. That's why saying that Tenhag becomes the manager, then the argument that Ronaldo will leave Manchester United is too simplistic. He made Tadić his captain because Tadić was a great role model. In the game, in terms of training style and standards set and expectations, is there a better example than C Ronaldo? Maybe Tenhag will count on Cristiano Ronaldo to help him rebuild Manchester United. ”
If it is from the perspective of an example, then C Ronaldo is indeed an excellent candidate. His attitude in training, his self-discipline in daily life, these can give young players the right guidance. But there are two sides to everything, and United are also under extra pressure while enjoying the exemplary power that Cristiano Ronaldo brings. His unparalleled desire to win is admirable, but this desire also makes him often act excessively. He complained unabashedly on the field, the dissatisfaction when he was replaced, and the movements of his body were spreading negative effects.
Therefore, if Ronaldo is willing to accept the positioning of the rotation, then the advantages of his staying in the team outweigh the disadvantages. If you still don't accept the old age, want to firmly control the main position, do not accept the rotation, then leaving the team is a win-win choice for each other, and the revival of Manchester United must ultimately be handed over to the youngsters.
