Obviously it’s ridiculously early but I don’t think you are feeling great so far as a United fan.
There is no comparison for two reasons. Firstly, as a coach, Erik ten Hag (not "Haag") has a much better track record than Frank de Boer.
But more importantly, neither De Boer or Ten Hag had a track record as a manager to speak of, as that's a completely separate job at Ajax and pretty much every football club in the Netherlands. Quite simply, Ten Hag has no experience in the management line of work.
