After a heavy 0-3 loss to away team Man City at Old Trafford, Man Utd under coach Ten Hag is said to be worse than when coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge.
Losing 0-3 to away team Man City in the Manchester derby in round 10 of the Premier League on the evening of October 29, coach Ten Hag and his team received a lot of criticism from football experts and fans.
Former Man Utd star Roy Keane said that the Old Trafford team under coach Ten Hag is bad in all aspects, from technical, tactical and even physical.
“In fact, we cannot analyze anything about what Erik Ten Hag did or any of Man Utd’s performances,” football expert Jamie Carragher agreed with Roy Keane.
“It’s clear that the job of rebuilding Man Utd is too big a task for Ten Hag. It’s clear that he lost his players. His game plan is meaningless.
Does he really believe that Man Utd played fairly with Man City in the first half? He only deceived himself,” commented Sky Sport expert Richard Keys.
Meanwhile, The Sun newspaper compared Man Utd under coach Ten Hag with the time coach Solskjaer was in charge, taking the 48-game mark in which both strategists led the “Red Devils”. What is surprising is that Man Utd has not shown many differences or significant changes since then.
The team led by coach Ten Hag has won 90 points after 48 matches, while coach Solskjaer is only slightly worse with 88 points.
The Dutch strategist won 28 wins, 3 more than the Norwegian manager (25 wins), but lost 4 more matches (14 losses compared to Solskjaer’s 10 losses). .
The number of draws under former Ajax Amsterdam coach was also much less – 6 matches compared to Ole’s 13 matches. The number of goals lost by Man Utd under Ten Hag is almost equal to that of Solskjaer (59 goals compared to 60 goals).
However, under Solskjaer, the “Red Devils” scored 89 goals after 48 matches, 20 more than under Ten Hag (69 goals).
Coach Solskjaer also took advantage of Bruno Fernandes’ ability to score goals and support attacks while the Portuguese midfielder under Ten Hag was strongly criticized, even being suggested by Roy Keane to be stripped of the captaincy.
Notably, Erling Haaland’s two goals on October 29 brought his total number of goals this season to 11 – the number that the entire Man Utd team scored after 10 rounds in the Premier League.
Poor performances this season put coach Ten Hag under increasing pressure to turn the situation around or may face being fired in the near future.
