The early period of Erik ten Hag’s reign was said to be a relative success, although the Red Devils got off to a slow start.
The Dutch coach handled the issue of Cristiano Ronaldo skillfully and brought a sublime style of play to the Old Trafford team. Ten Hag is exploiting the best players and also helping Man Utd get ready for a place in the top 4.
Here are the 3 most improved Man Utd players in 2022.
Diogo Dalot
Dalot is growing day by day.
At this time last year, Dalot was practically starting to play well under coach Ralf Rangnick. He was given the opportunity to kick right back in the context of Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s unsatisfactory.
This season, Dalot took himself to the next level, becoming almost inescapable for Ten Hag. Dalot improved his defense, showing great desire in tackles and saves.
He is also a threat when he is on the rise, even aiming to score more goals and assists in 2023. Dalot is really important for Man Utd at the moment.
David de Gea
De Gea surprised to improve his footwork.
2022 is the year De Gea confirms his form again.
He won the Player of the Year award last season. Since Ten Hag arrived at Old Trafford, it is clear that the Spaniard has put a lot of effort into improving his all-round play, especially his ability to handle the ball with his feet.
At his best, De Gea has always been an excellent saver but now he has added the ability to pass the ball and help the Reds attack from behind.
At this point, De Gea’s future is unpredictable. However, he can continue to stick with Man Utd if he accepts a salary reduction. Coach Ten Hag appreciates De Gea’s efforts.
Marcus Rashford
Rashford is Man Utd’s number one striker.
Late last year, Rashford returned from shoulder surgery but was still struggling in form and looked heavy on the pitch.
But under Ten Hag, Rashford transformed strongly. He is back at his best explosively and is getting sharper and more consistent in front of goal.
Rashford earned a place in England’s squad for the 2022 World Cup. In fact, no Three Lions player has scored more goals than Rashford in Qatar, even though the striker only started one game throughout. solution.
In the context of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the team, Anthony Martial injured, the burden of scoring is now on Rashford’s shoulders.
All three players on this list are in a situation where they need to settle their contracts. Notably, Man Utd activated the one-year option with Rashford and Dalot before coming to a longer-term deal.
As for De Gea, they need this goalkeeper to reduce his salary.
