Erik Ten Hag is truly one of the worst coaches in MU history. The numbers prove it.
Nothing is going well at Manchester United. This English giant never stops accumulating missteps. And on Sunday evening, he experienced the humiliation of a heavy setback at home against his sworn enemy Manchester City (0-3).
No one has done worse than Ten Hag in 37 years
As manager of the team, Erik Ten Hag is the one who is most singled out for this dark series. And it is not illogical given that his record has been disappointing since his arrival and in particular since the start of the current season.
A statistic perfectly illustrates the current mediocrity of this training. This season, MU has lost half of the league matches it has played (5 out of 10). To find the trace of such a failed start to the campaign we have to go back to the 1986/87 financial year (6 defeats).

Note also that with Sunday’s defeat, Manchester United now have as many defeats at Old Trafford in the PL under the Ferguson era (between 1992 and 2013) as after his departure (34 times). Of course, Ten Hag is not the only one responsible for this figure, but he still has a lot to do with it.
Ten Hag therefore cannot get the best out of his team. However, among the club’s veterans, he continues to be spared. Roy Keane, the former club legend, preferred to attack the players instead. “The levels are different. Man United’s players are simply inadequate in every area. Technically and tactically. It’s a long road back for this team. »
