What If Ten Hag Ruled Old Trafford Till 2032?…
Picture this: Erik ten Hag in 2032 sporting a grey ponytail and still at the helm of Manchester United. Yep, the Dutch maestro planned to stick around for a decade, turning Old Trafford into Ajax 2.0. Despite winning a couple of shiny trophies, poor league results had the club waving goodbye to him faster than you can say “Gegenpressing”.
Rumor has it, United could have finally snagged the elusive Frenkie de Jong and reunited him with his old buddy Ten Hag, sort of like a high school reunion minus the awkwardness. And what about Harry Kane? Yep, Kane’s there too, chasing Alan Shearer’s record while possibly plotting his own baking show post-retirement.
But what if United embraced Ten Hag’s vision? Enter Everton’s young knight Jarrad Branthwaite and Zion Suzuki, still wowing fans at Parma. With a knack for promoting budding stars, Ten Hag would’ve likely made Kobbie Mainoo and Alejandro Garnacho unsellable, causing rival clubs to drool with envy.
Oh, the drama of a shiny new stadium too! Imagine, a spaceship-like venue costing a staggering £2 billion, raising eyebrows and raking in the cash. United’s midfield, decked with some intense pressure for Ruben Amorim and a desire to make every Ajax alum come ‘home’. Can we imagine United’s alternate reality filled with flicks, tricks, and Ten Hag’s tick-tocking tactics until 2032? Absolutely!
