Most likely you never watched us under Ole and havent watched a full 90 minute game under Ten Hag either if you think we are playing the same way. United are pressing really high and winning a lot of balls as well. Ten Hag wants us to play like early Klopp liverpool. Anyone with eyes can see what he is trying to do. Eye test backs it up for 30 minutes a game, and stats back it up as well, United are top 3 this season in basically every pressing and gegenpressing stat you can find. United also have the most balls won in opposition half of any PL team this year. I do not remember us being anything above top 8 in terms of pressing under Ole. Just because it’s not clicking due to multitude of reasons, doesn’t mean there’s no intention. Ten Hag last season largely abandoned his playstyle and played counter attack (even still for 4 month period from November to Feb, United were best counterpressing team in Europe). Players do not have the stamina to keep up that intensity for full 90, injuries to various positions have not helped either, but Ten Hag is persisting which is fine for me, I do not get this narrative that a multi billion dollar club with one of the most exciting up and coming coaches in recent years doesn’t have a playstyle. Yeah it’s not working at this moment, our build up play is still largely shit but yes there is a specific game plan and playstyle, and with time I think we will improve so don’t you worry
