Manchester United's strong rebound this season has sparked widespread debate. Before United beat Westham, City boss Gordiona couldn't wait to speak highly of them, saying bluntly, "I feel the old United is returning." However, United coach Tannhäuser disagreed, saying, "It's too early to catch up with City."
Just a month later, Manchester City thrashed Manchester United 6-3, and Gordiona was full of praise for United: "I feel that the United that used to dominate is back, I really like the way United is playing now, and there's one more team competing for the title in the Premier League. I've seen United play against Chelsea and against Shulev in the UEFA Cup, and the United of that heyday is back in full force."
In the face of Godiona's praise, Tanhag was cautious: "I think it's too early to say, the players have a good mentality, the attacking ability is very strong, and they are able to play attacking soccer, but we need to improve our goal-scoring efficiency. If we can keep this up, I believe it's the right direction. But we still have a long way to go to really threaten Manchester City."
