But looking at the United squad right now, who are actually players you'd expect to see at an Ajax side? Martinez and Eriksen. Not so much anyone else. Even Antony isn't the kind of player to really set the playstyle at a club like Ajax, even if he did well there.
Ten Hag should be blamed for his mistakes, but I wouldn't say this is a squad in between the old counter attacking style and the "Ajax" style. This is an unfinished squad, with simply a lot of poor players and unfit players. I would blame Ten Hag for having a front three of Rashford, Hojlund and Antony. Because it is a very expensive lineup, that doesn't really make sense together and isn't all that great individually either. But he's also trying to make it work with what was already in the squad and a lot of the players just aren't up for it.
