In the Carabao Cup final yesterday, football betting sites singapore Manchester United secured a 2-0 win over Newcastle to take their first trophy in seven months. It is the first silverware since winning the Uefa Europa League in 2017, and has left the Red Devils craving more glory.
Erik ten Hag’s transformation
Despite a turbulent start to his tenure, Erik ten Hag has transformed Manchester United into a team with the potential to dominate the English top flight for years. He has brought order and method to a team that had been rudderless for too long.
He has also solved the problem of Cristiano Ronaldo. In seven months at the helm, ten Hag has already led his side to a league-high tally of points, and they sit third in the table.
His record is backed by a squad that has an average age of 24 and could easily rule the division for years to come.
History Of Manchester United
The club had a mixed start to their post-war reign under Matt Busby, who had built a brilliant side that lifted the League Championship in 1911. However, the Munich Air Disaster robbed Busby of many of his greatest players, and he had to rebuild.
After winning the FA Cup in 1947, Busby appointed Jimmy Murphy as assistant manager, and the pair forged a partnership that would see United become one of the world’s greatest teams.
The club finished second to Liverpool in the first Football League campaign after the war, and they fought off local rivals Blackpool to win their first FA Cup in 1948. Throughout the early 1960s, however, Busby struggled to keep his team on the up and, while they won the League Championship in 1961, they failed to win any major trophies.
