On August 21, 2008, Metallica released “The Day That Never Comes”, the lead single from their ninth studio album called Death Magnetic.

The music video for the song shows soldiers in hostile situations, but the song is actually about forgiveness and redemption as drummer Lars Ulrich later explained. “Waiting for the one,” the chorus starts, “the day that never comes.”

Watching Manchester United throughout the last decade, it has always felt like they are waiting for the day that never comes — the one where they win football games with complete dominant performances against the top sides in the Premier League.

“I think it was the best team performance so far this season,” Erik ten Hag said after his United side beat Tottenham HotspurOn Wednesday, Old Trafford won convincingly

“First, you get organisation, in and out of possession,” he told Amazon Prime Video after the game. “Then, when you have that right, you need the right intensity. You have to dictate the intensity, and I think that is what we did today.”

What was the most impressive thing about Ten Hag?

“It was so many things that were so really good,” he continued. “Our pressing organisation was fabulous, magnificent. I thought the counter-press and rest defence were both excellent. However, possession was also a good option. A lot of dynamic (movement) in front.”
