The Athletic.

Well, his Manchester United team are unbeaten since the end of the World Cup and they're into the top four now ahead of Saturday's Manchester Derby.

We'll take a closer look at the big decisions, the man

management, the playing style and of course the January transfer window two when it

comes to Eric Ten Harg and look at why his starter old Trafford has felt more convincing than any manager

post Ferguson. I'm Mark Chapman be made in the scouting department because a lot of what was done was you know based on his

instinct his genius was word of mouth it was network so I understand you know I

had to modernize had to add data. Rashford might go alone.

Yes he has.

That is an X and a goal for Marcus Rashford.

If there's a diving header on the six-yard box to him to fling himself at, he's going to do it with slightly more gusto than

Nancy Marcial did at Moligny.

United are really one Marcus Rashford injury away from, I think a lot of this kind of sticking plaster team that

Eric Tenhanks got together at the moment just kind of being in a lot of trouble. Laurie, let me start with you because obviously you've brought the cynicism to any united

discussion over the last two three years that we've had or all me

not you or absolutely all the I mean Adam as well to be

never never me both you've been fairly cynical are you are you feeling a growing sense of

optimism or are you still slightly cautious there's definitely caution there

and to be honest it changes depending on what day the week you catch being and who United have beaten or lost to but I think the main definite positive is Eric Henharg and the fact that he's definitely made mistakes

in this campaign but his ideas and the ways communicating himself and the decisions he's taking are impressive.

I think it shows authority, I think it shows a clear direction and if they can actually,

you know, provide the players that fit his style totally then I think you know your night could be on to something really special.
