Manchester United thrashed lower-division Wigan Athletic 2-0 to keep their FA Cup hopes alive while improving their win rate to 5934%, if Ten Hag can beat Tottenham Hotspur in the next round of games, Ten Hag's winning percentage will surpass Lord Alex Ferguson, who is currently ranked first in Manchester United history, and become the manager with the highest winning percentage in the history of the "Red Devils". But compared to Lord Alex Ferguson, Ten Hag's coaching ability, prestige, and even image in the minds of fans are not the same as the old man. So, how is Ten Hag and Alex Ferguson different?
In terms of the overall environment, the current Manchester United is obviously not as tolerant as it was during the Ferguson period
Compared with Ten Hag, who was already the meritorious manager who led Ajax to eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the Champions League semi-finals before landing at Old Trafford, Ferguson experienced the transformation from a rookie manager to a world-class coach at Manchester United. Of course, the Manchester United team at that time definitely did not have such a luxurious squad as it is now, and now every position of Manchester United is the world's top players, and after Ferguson, every manager who coaches Manchester United lives in the shadow of the old coach, and Ten Hag is no exception.
Compared to Ferguson, Ten Hag's squad should have had better results
Compared with previous managers, Ten Hag has reached an unprecedented degree of decision-making power in recruitment, but Ten Hag's insistence that Antony, Eriksen, Hojlen and Onana have not played to match their value. Ten Hag's team should have been able to achieve better results. Obviously, Ten Hag's current achievements are far from meeting the expectations of fans, and many fans even believe that Ten Hag's arrival has exacerbated the chaos at Manchester United and the volatility of the player's value.
Ferguson has room to grow, but time is running out for Ten Hag
Against Tottenham, Manchester United's new boss Lar will watch the game live for the first time. For Ten Hag, beating Tottenham at home is a must-try. Otherwise, Ten Hag could be sacked. Although Manchester United's current situation does not achieve long-term results, if the team's form continues to be sluggish, even if it is a change of manager for the sake of a change of manager, the team must be forced to make changes.
