Manchester United has become a completely different beast in the past few months. They have made some huge transfers like Casemiro, Antony, and Lisandro Martinez for the subsequent amount of money, However, Manchester United fans, as well as neutrals, have credited the man in charge, Erik ten Hag for it. United fans absolutely adore him, and a meme regarding him has gone viral. Erik ten Hag’s appearance has struck back some ‘Breaking Bad’ memories.
When the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson left Manchester United in 2013, there were no certain replacements for him. Understandably enough, it was next to impossible to go anywhere near someone’s shadow, who has won you an unbelievable 13 Premier League titles. David Moyes took the charge of the club after Sir Alex left, however, failed miserably.
The likes of Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho have been appointed to bring back the glory days. But no one succeeded. Last year, the incoming of former Ajax manager ten Hag changed the mindset of the majority fanbase. The Dutchman has brought an identity to their style of play and most importantly, there is a sense of unity between the players.

The likes of Luke Shaw, Fred, and Marcus Rashford looked burnt out and lethargic. Erik ten Hag, however, has made a monumental change in Rashford’s approach to play and his mentality. From mere 4 Premier League goals last season, the Englishman has become one of the most feared attackers in the game. His 24 goals in all competition in February proves this.
Fans react to Erik ten Hag’s hilarious ‘Walter White’ meme
Erik ten Hag is the apple of Manchester United’s fan’s eyes. The impact, the Dutchman has brought to the club, is impeccable. On February 23, United knocked out La Liga table toppers Barcelona out of the round of 32 stage of the Europa League over two legs on a 4-3 aggregate score. Fans believe, ten Hag’s United has sent a statement to the soccer world.
Manchester United are sitting in the 3rd position, breathing on their city rival Manchester City’s neck. Some fans are also hopeful about an outside chance of a late title charge against City and Arsenal.
Recently, a meme post of ten Hag by Out of Context Football Twitter page has gone viral. The meme shows a picture of the Dutchman in a suit and spectacles, wearing a suit. The picture has the infamous quote from one of the best shows of all time, Breaking Bad on it. The quote is of Walter White’s, “I’m not in danger! I’m the danger!” in the picture.

And Erik ten Hag is certainly resembling Bryan Cranston’s immoral character a lot. And fans have recognized that with their funny and sarcastic replies. They have replied with some very funny images and GIFs. One fan pondered, “Walter White is back,” in the comments.
Sunday’s result over Newcastle would make a huge impact on the United fans’ minds. And of course, ten Hag will look forward to seeing his star-man Rashford fully fit before the cup final.
