After two consecutive losses against Man City and Newcastle, Man Utd still struggled in the match against Fulham in round 11 of the Premier League on the evening of November 5. Man Utd did not create as many opportunities as their opponents but scored a goal from Bruno Fernandes in injury time to win 1-0.
The above victory helped Man Utd relieve pressure after a series of bad matches. Not only that, it also helps coach Ten Hag enter the history of the Red Devils in an unbelievable way. Accordingly, the Dutch coach became one of the two fastest coaches to reach 50 wins in Man Utd history.
Coach Ten Hag only needed 78 matches to reach this milestone. The only person who can do it like the Dutch coach is coach Ernest Mangnall. The strategist born in 1866 also reached the milestone of 50 victories after his first 78 matches leading Man Utd.
Ernest Mangnall is a legendary coach in the history of the Red Devils when he led the club from 1903 to 1912. In total, he led the Manchester club in 471 matches and won 292 wins (139 draws, 90 losses). ).
Meanwhile, coach Ten Hag has won 50 wins, drawn 9 and lost 20 matches in 78 matches. He was even more impressive than coach Mourinho, who needed 81 matches to reach the 50-win mark. Coach Solskjaer needs 92 matches.
However, despite setting an impressive record, coach Ten Hag is still at risk of being fired. A lucky victory over Fulham cannot help Man Utd much. The club is still ranked 8th on the Premier League rankings with 18 points after 11 matches, 9 points behind top team Man City.
Speaking after the match against Fulham, coach Ten Hag said: “It was a good performance. I am satisfied with the whole team, especially their spirit. Fulham deployed the ball from the back line very well but we applied pressure. so close that they cannot play as they please.
Obviously, we need to improve our attack. The team needs to create more opportunities in the penalty area. Anyway, the calmness of the whole team in today’s match is a step forward.”
