The spectacular win in round 19 of the Premier League helped M.U end the series of 3 recent consecutive matches in this tournament with only draws and losses, without scoring any goals, and won their first match to rise to 6th place with 31 points. Coach Erik ten Hag not only relieved the pressure, but also confidently made strong statements to the new co-owners of M.U sitting in the stands at Old Trafford.
British billionaire Jim Ratcliffe has completed buying 25% of shares to own M.U club along with the Glazer family. He is about to bring close employees to the executive board of the M.U Club in the football field, including Mr. Dave Brailsford, who came to watch the match between M.U and Aston Villa at Old Trafford. Also in this match, M.U fans were also very excited to see for the first time in many years that two famous players Edwin van der Sar and Robin van Persie came to watch the old club play.
“I am an optimistic person. We were informed throughout the entire process (billionaire Jim Ratcliffe bought 25% of M.U Club shares). It's good, we look forward to cooperating with them. This is very positive for M.U. Mr. Dave Brailsford (who will most likely become the new Transfer Director) wants to work with us. We also really want to work with him. I'm looking forward to it," coach Erik ten Hag said on Amazon channel, after M.U's victory over Aston Villa on December 27.12.
“In my opinion, the purchase and sale of shares of the club does not have any impact on the psychology of the players as recently rumored. The presence of senior figures from INEOS Group will help strengthen M.U. They are people with extensive experience operating in sports at the highest level, including Formula 1 (F1) racing, cycling teams, and football clubs. They can only help and support us in achieving all the goals of the current project," coach Erik ten Hag shared.
M.U's new reign became impressive, not only with the dramatic victory over Aston Villa thanks to a double scored by young talent Alejandro Garnacho in the second half in the 2th and 59st minutes. Expensive striker Rasmus Hojlund also scored. first in the Premier League (set score 71-3 minute 2), after a lot of doubt and criticism. This has brought confidence to the "Red Devils", as well as helped new figures at the top of the club to have a specific view before reshaping the apparatus of the Manchester team in the new era.
