Mаnchester United hаs emerged frоm the dаnger zоne аnd аppeаrs tо be in gооd heаlth fоllоwing fоur strаight Premier Leаgue victоries, which included their 2-1 victоry оver Lutоn Tоwn оn Sundаy.

After a recent goal against West Ham, the TV pictures of youthful players Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Kobbie Mainoo sitting together and grinning seemed to represent a fresh and happier atmosphere at Old Trafford. United has a newfound sense of confidence, energy, intensity, and resilience. Thanks to their winning streak, they are only three points behind Tottenham Hotspur, who are currently in fifth place. The Champions League is likely to be accessible to the top five players this season, especially considering England’s coefficient in European competition.

For the time being, manager Erik Ten Hag is free of criticism. Despite winning the Carabao Cup and finishing in the top four last season, Ten Hag has endured uncomfortable questions and months of uncertainty about his appropriateness for the position.

Although there were rumours that certain players “were not having him,” his courageous and firm approach to dealing with disciplinary concerns involving Marcus Rashford and Jadon Sancho is beginning to appear to be a winning strategy. An exhilarating 4-3 victory at Wolves and 2-1 victories in two taxing away games at Aston Villa and Luton have shown that a team that appeared to be sleepwalking through certain games in the autumn is now buzzing. This past weekend, the defenders held its own against the home team’s high-octane style and constant barrage of dangerous crosses.

Two months prior, the United team that suffered a humiliating 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich and ended bottom of their Champions League group (behind Galatasaray and FC Copenhagen) at home against Bournemouth would have most likely lost at Villa Park and Kenilworth Road.

Only Sheffield United, who were at the bottom of the table, had less goals scored at that point. Despite having the worst start to a season in sixty years, United’s forwards failed to score at Old Trafford before Christmas. What, then, has enabled Ten Hag’s team to turn things around?

They appear to be scoring goals at every opportunity, and Hojlund—who went without a goal in his first 14 Premier League games—became the youngest player in modern history to score in six straight top-flight English matches. With his agility and skill, the Danish striker is becoming more and more of a prize asset. He can spin past opponents to score goals or create opportunities for his teammates.

Next is Rashford, who seems to be making a comeback following his wild night in Belfast and subsequent exclusion from the FA Cup match at Newport County. Ten Hag and his teammates undoubtedly made it clear to him when he came back with a goal against Wolves that such transgressions would not be allowed. Although his five goals in 23 games this season are still far less than his 17 league goals from the previous campaign, he is contributing to a dangerous front three.

Another factor contributing to the Reds’ comeback was the 18-year-old Mainoo’s assignment to defensive midfield. He possesses the maturity of a player ten years older, as evidenced by his outstanding full debut in a 3-0 victory at Everton. He has the appearance of a potential England star.

Club captain Bruno Fernandes is still unstoppable despite his sporadic haughtiness, but Ten Hag would prefer to see a return to the form that netted him 18 goals and 12 assists in his debut season with the team. (After 23 league games this season, he only has three goals and five assists.)

Critics of United may legitimately point out that despite their recent successes, they are still far from being on the same level as the current elite (Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal). Though they are still a long way from being finished, they are finally heading in the right direction.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe, a billionaire and United supporter, has taken over the football division of the business. This move is expected to cause havoc in the hallowed halls of a renowned club that, despite its continued success, had lagged behind its primary competitors due to some clumsy transfer transactions. Examples include paying over £80 million for the unsatisfactory Antony from Ajax and £60 million for Mason Mount, who struggled at Chelsea and has been sidelined most of the season.

United wants Newcastle’s highly regarded Dan Ashworth to be their new sporting director, working at the sharp end of recruitment. United appointed Omar Berrada as their new CEO, luring him away from local rivals Manchester City. In addition, there are rumours that United may construct a “Wembley of the North” in lieu of the dilapidated Old Trafford.

Financial Fair Play and Prоfit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) may limit the amоunt оf mоney that can be invested in the first team rоster, but it wоuld be shоcking if Ratcliffe and his grоup did nоt make a significant impressiоn оn the market this summer. Hоwever, they must be able tо prоvide prоspective recruits with the оppоrtunity tо play Champiоns League games in оrder tо accоmplish that.

Will Ten Hag be driven out and replaced as manager by Sir Jim’s winds of change? Perhaps not at their best right now, but the former Ajax manager is not part of the new administration, and United still has games against Manchester City away and Liverpool and Arsenal at home.

It will be interesting to see if their comeback can withstand such rigorous examinations, but signs of a turnaround are unquestionably beginning to emerge in order to prevent what earlier appeared to be a terrible season.
