Pallister praised the immediate impact the caretaker manager has made. The former defender highlighted his deep understanding of the club, tellingBOYLE Sports: "It's difficult to know without being on the training pitch. He'll have respect from the players. He's been there, won big trophies with Manchester United before, he knows the history and the tradition of the club, knows the expectations – he dealt with them as a player. So, he's got that on his side coming into the management role at the club," Pallister explained. Furthermore, he noted key changes: "But the simple answer is he's gone to a back four, brought Kobbie Mainoo – who looked like a real star when breaking through – back into the team after being left out for so long. He made that decision to bring him back and just changed the style, trying to bring what looks like a positive attitude back into the side."
