Four months after Sir Jim Ratcliffe and the United management had analysed that Erik ten Hag was the right man to lead the club forward, the handbrake was pulled. The Dutchman was put on the private jet and sent away from the club with a juicy compensation. Had the management listened to one of Solskjaer’s previous interviews as United manager, Ten Hag would never have kept his job. It is therefore with great relief that we see that Ruben Amorim has a completely different perspective than Ten Hag.
Erik ten Hag was on course for exit this spring, but then there was this final FA Cup final. The title went to United, and it tasted extra good that the losing finalist was city rival City. This is said to have prompted Ratcliffe and the gang to bring Ten Hag back into the heat. Cup title also hangs high, doesn’t it? A few games into this season, it became clear how wrong this reasoning was.

Caughtoffiside brought up an interview with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer when he was Manchester United manager, where he just warned against focusing on and measuring managers on cup titles.
"A trophy does NOT mean you're back. It's the gradual progression and continuity of being at the top of the league. Sometimes a cup title can hide the fact that you're still struggling," sage Solskjaer said while he was Man United manager.
Ratcliffe was fooled by Ten Hag’s self-boasting League Cup and FA Cup titles, but now the club has a manager in place who focuses on the foundation and the Premier League.
-We are a huge club, but we are not a huge team. We know that, so it’s not a problem to say,” Ruben Amorim begins, according to the BBC.

“We are not one of the best teams in the league, but in history our club is perhaps the best in the league, so here we have a problem. We have to focus on the small details and then we will improve as a team,” says Amorim.
It is in the Premier League that the results will show.
The Portuguese has the same perception of reality as Solskjaer. Thanks.
