I’m firmly Ten Hag in. He’s had a lot to deal with this season with Greenwood and Sancho, the sale of the club and the uncertainty surrounding that, the ridiculous amount of injuries. Jim Ratcliffe and co are bringing in people with a footballing background to replace the clueless bankers (not rhyming slang but it works) that the Glazers put in charge of footballing matters so he needs a chance with a better structure behind him.
Players I’d like to see the team built around are Bruno Fernandes, Lisandro Martinez, Garnacho, Hojlund, Mainoo, Amad and Willy Kambwala. There’s a lad coming through from the under 18s, Ethan Wheatley, who looks an interesting prospect too.
As for Rashford, he should be first out of the door. His attitude has been appalling this season, and it does make you wonder if he only put the effort in last season because he was coming up to contract renewal time and a wage increase.
