this season is like a roller coaster. Up and Down but there are positivities for next one. - ETH brought some qualities players who have abilities and special characters like Casemiro, Lisandro Martinez, Anthony, Eriksen - Dealt with Ronaldo situation nicely - Trigger Rashford potentials and he proved that by winning 3 player of the month awards. Also United best goal scorer this season too. - Low budget in winter transfer but he brought 2 "ok" alternatives : Weghorst and Sabitzer. - Brought on Garnacho who performed brilliantly every time he came on. - Wabissaka has improved so much since. - Brought United to Quater-Finals in Europa League - Brought United to Final FA Cup - Won Carabao Cup - Finished 3rd in his first full season. Not so bad for Erik, I am sure with financial support, He will lead United to greater achievements
All in all a very good season for utd, a good benchmark in hopes to go further on in the future. It was a real rollercoaster but for ETH to bring utd a long awaited trophy and 3rd place to qualify for UCL, i’d say he exceeded expectations and probably then some. Signing of the season - got to give it to casemiro, he’s had a major impact for us and just has so much class x presence. Even doe i know he can be quite rash at times, when he’s on name is on the starting line-up, ironically, i feel calm and at ease cuz i know he can deliver. He’s one of the players where if he ain’t around the squad is not the same team i must say. Too much quality x experience to be ignored. If martinez wasn’t injured, i reckon i’d give it to him because he rarely had a bad game at all but classimiro takes it👌🏾 Unsung hero - a number of players could take this one like wan bissaka, he’s improved drastically under ten hag especially when pushing forward. Another one i could say that may be a surprise is Fred, yes he ain’t the best but this yr i feel he stepped up his game abit, he was involved in a good couple of goals, some of them being crucial goal and most times had a positive impact when coming off da bench, he brought good energy. Ultimately gotta go w/ shaw, imo one of the most consistent players this season. He does get his flower but i don’t think enough, wan bissaka gets raved about more than him and arguably, rightfully so but shaw shown great versatility aswell stepping up for martinez in that latter stages of the season and pulling some good performances whilst not missing a beat at his initial role. Got to shaw’s best season w/ us ever by far. One to watch for the future - That garnacho kid is something else man everytime he has come on he gets me more engaged in the game. So exciting to watch always plays positively coming off the bench and made a big mark. The things he does i always think thats what sancho should be doing. Really looking forward to seeing how he develops in the future. Pellistri is an honourable mention aswell, plays w/ some sort of elegance, kinda reminds me of David silva abit. POTY - so many candidates to choose from. Rashford was immense this yr w/ his best goal-scoring record yet this season, casemiro being casemiro, the whole defence was brilliantly despite the number of heavy defeats we consumed, leading De gea to another golden glove. I’m gonna choose Bruno as POTY, he’s been involved in many of our goals, turns up in big occasions and has been a top consistent player throughout the season, especially the 2nd half. He does get some stick at times but for me he’s been brilliant. Imagine if we had a serious striker behind him, his assists would skyrocket, most creative chances in the league. A shame really. I can’t really complain this season i enjoyed it a lot and its the first time in a long time i feel excited to watch games again. ETH brought back that old utd feel to us. We become a hard team to beat at our ground, its become a fortress. Slowly we becoming a feared side to face again, brought in quality players, brought some youth in aswell and work well w/ what we had. Hopefully next year we push on, getting rid of players and buy a few key players to develop more. Couldn’t ask for more from ETH🔴👌🏾🔥

I've certainly enjoyed this season a lot better then the previous few, and United winning the Carabao Cup was brilliant! Still can't believe we haven't had a DVD release of this season, United win they're first trophy in 6 years and there's no season review DVD to watch it!
Season filled with lots of highs and lots of lows but overall v good season IMO, there's a clear direction under ETH & good for him to get a trophy under his belt & champions league football. Looking forward to the coming years under him.
