Ten Hag has spent nearly 400 million euros in transfer fees since he took charge of Manchester United last season to buy players such as Antony, Martinez, Onana, etc., but these Ten Hag's descendants do not seem to be very easy to use, and it is still McTominay and Maguire who help Manchester United turn the tide at critical moments.
Ten Hag has been in charge of Manchester United for more than half a season, and his tactical thinking and coaching philosophy are still not visible, but Ten Hag's Manchester United has broken 37 humiliating records, leaving many fans unable to raise their heads. According to Troll Football, Ten Hag has broken 37 records since taking charge of Manchester United in 2022, some of which can be seen as a joke with qualifiers, but some of which are a shame that the traditional giants of Manchester United will never erase.
Among the qualifiers are the fact that United had not lost consecutive league games to Newcastle since 1972 before Ten Hag took over; Before Ten Hag took over, United had not lost to West Ham United in a row since 2007; Before Ten Hag took over, United had not failed to score in four consecutive games since 1992; Before Ten Hag took over, Bournemouth had never won at Old Trafford; Before Ten Hag took over, Bournemouth had never scored three goals in a single game at Old Trafford and so on. Although these records are of little significance, they can still make fans uncomfortable when viewed closely.
If the above records only make Manchester United lose face in the Premier League, but the following records make Manchester United lose face and lose face in the Champions League, which is a real shame, so that the "Red Devils", who have stood at the top of Europe three times, cannot raise their heads. For example, before Ten Hag took over, United had not finished bottom of the Champions League group stage since 2006; Before Ten Hag took over, there had never been a time in the history of the Champions League that United had picked up just four points in the group stage; Before Ten Hag took charge, no English club had conceded 15 goals in the Champions League group stage; Prior to Ten Hag's appointment, United had never lost four of their six group games in Champions League history.
Although Ten Hag has set countless shameful records in charge of Manchester United, there is still one statistic that occupies the first place, and it is the official manager of Manchester United in the past, that is, Ten Hag's winning rate in charge of Manchester United is 61%, ranking first. Manchester United's legendary coach Alex Ferguson also has a win rate of only 60 per cent, and Jose Mourinho, who led Manchester United to his best result since Ferguson's retirement, is also only 583%, it is enough to see that Ten Hag still has some ability to coach.
Many fans hope that the Manchester United hierarchy will extend Ten Hag's long-term contract and give Ten Hag more time to build Manchester United according to his own ideas and put Manchester United on the road to revival.
Ten Hag's record also includes the fact that United had not lost 13 games at Christmas since 1930 before Ten Hag took over; Before Ten Hag took over, no Manchester United manager had conceded 20 goals in his first seven games against Liverpool and Manchester City since the distant 19th century; Prior to Ten Hag's appointment, United had never lost 12 of their first 23 games in the season.
