'The teams Ten Hag needs to stay in touch with are not Liverpool and City but Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham. And perhaps Spurs simultaneously prompt the most concern yet reasons for optimism.'
Manchester United have made it very easy to be pessimistic about anything emerging from Old Trafford. Almost a decade of mis-management has made it the instinct of anyone with even a casual relationship with reality to be sceptical about the Red Devils’ prospects, despite the dawn of the latest of many new eras.
But let us briefly fight that natural cynicism and ponder whether the picture right now at United might be as rosy at it could reasonably be. From what we know of Ten Hag, the culture of excuses and blame-shifting will have been banished upon the sweet release of the final whistle of last season. That cannot have escaped even this squad, with its collective and selective deafness. Some of the bad apples have gone, but some undoubtedly will remain. Ten Hag will be watching them more closely than the last couple of managers, who tended to leave the day-to-day coaching to their assistants.
Similarly, that United’s scouting network seems to stretch no further than the city limits of Amsterdam doesn’t have to be seen as failure. Ten Hag has clearly analysed the squad and recognises the scale of the job to bring them up to the level he wants, playing a style he wants. Shopping for players he knows will fit his criteria is just common sense, certainly in the immediate term, since a swift and tangible improvement is expected this season.

Respiratory viruses dynamics and interactions: ten years of surveillance in central Europe - BMC Public HealthBackground Lower respiratory tract infections are among the main causes of death. Although there are many respiratory viruses, diagnostic efforts are focused mainly on influenza. The Respiratory Viruses Network (RespVir) collects infection data, primarily from German university hospitals, for a high diversity of infections by respiratory pathogens. In this study, we computationally analysed a subset of the RespVir database, covering 217,150 samples tested for 17 different viral pathogens in the time span from 2010 to 2019. Methods We calculated the prevalence of 17 respiratory viruses, analysed their seasonality patterns using information-theoretic measures and agglomerative clustering, and analysed their propensity for dual infection using a new metric dubbed average coinfection exclusion score (ACES). Results After initial data pre-processing, we retained 206,814 samples, corresponding to 1,408,657 performed tests. We found that Influenza viruses were reported for almost the half of all infections and that they exhibited the highest degree of seasonality. Coinfections of viruses are frequent; the most prevalent coinfection was rhinovirus/bocavirus and most of the virus pairs had a positive ACES indicating a tendency to exclude each other regarding infection. Conclusions The analysis of respiratory viruses dynamics in monoinfection and coinfection contributes to the prevention, diagnostic, treatment, and development of new therapeutics. Data obtained from multiplex testing is fundamental for this analysis and should be prioritized over single pathogen testing.
