The ‘Man Utd way’ – what is it, and are we seeing it under Ten Hag?

Philosophy has become one of the footballing buzzwords in recent years.
It is the idea that clubs, and head coaches, must have a clearly defined style they are playing with or aspiring towards. Almost every European club philosophises the same thing: high possession, attack-first and press high.
“I can’t play like Ajax play — it is different players, so I came here with my philosophy, based on possession,” Manchester United head coach Erik ten Hag said this week.
“But I wanted to combine it with the DNA of Manchester United and the players, the characters of them.”

ICYMI: Ten Hag ‘the fighter’ leans on pragmatism to spark Man Utd recovery

When Erik ten Hag is confident about the point he is making in a media conference, he will punctuate his answer with the word “clear”.
Last season, the Manchester United manager became known for outlining the specific tactical ideas he wanted from his team, and would repeatedly talk about the need for his players to be disciplined if they were to execute his game plans.
Ten Hag is something of an outlier compared to other managers asked to restore United to their former glories since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
The Dutchman is not a charismatic speaker in the same way his predecessors Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer were but has built a reputation for his tactical plans, as well as his willingness to explain his fabled process of improvement for the club.

How do you know when you’re over someone you once loved?
Maybe it’s when you stop thinking about them everyday. Or when they stop haunting your dreams. Or perhaps it’s when you find a straight-talking Australian with a penchant for inverted full-backs to take their place.
For Tottenham Hotspur, four years on from his departure, there is finally a sense that the club are not still collectively pining for Mauricio Pochettino.
Instead, there is a new object of their affections: the head coach appointed this summer, Ange Postecoglou.

The kidnapping of Diaz’s parents that left Liverpool ‘fighting for Lucho’
The celebrations in the home dressing room were decidedly low-key.
Liverpool had cruised to an emphatic 3-0 victory over Nottingham Forest at Anfield but minds were elsewhere.
Jurgen Klopp’s players knew that their triumph on the field paled into insignificance given what their team-mate Luis Diaz was going through.
As Liverpool closed to within three points of Premier League leaders Tottenham, the former Porto attacker was at home in Crosby, north of the city, anxiously awaiting news about his father Luis Manuel, who was kidnapped in the town of Barrancas in the region of La Guajira, the northernmost part of Colombia, on Saturday.
His mother Cilenis Marulanda had also been taken by gunmen on motorbikes, according to local reports and authorities, but she had been rescued unharmed, a development posted on the social media account of the country’s president, Gustavo Petro.
“The preparation was the most difficult I ever had in my life,” said Klopp, whose managerial career spans 22 years and more than 1,000 matches. “We all pray that everything will be fine. The only thing we could do is fight for our brother and that’s what they did.”
