After two consecutive defeats 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 chances as their opponents but had a goal by Bruno Fernandes in injury time to win 1-0.
The victory helped Man Utd relieve the pressure after a series of bad matches. Not only that, it also helped coach Ten Hag enter the history of the Red Devils in an unbelievable way. Accordingly, the Dutch coach became one of the two coaches to reach the milestone of 50 wins fastest in Man Utd history.
Coach Ten Hag only needed 78 matches to reach this milestone. The only person who has achieved the same feat as 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 matches (139 draws, 90 losses).
Meanwhile, coach Ten Hag has won 50, drawn 9 and lost 20 in 78 matches. He is even more impressive than coach Mourinho, who needed 81 matches to reach the 50-win mark. Coach Solskjaer needed 92 matches.
However, despite his impressive record, coach Ten Hag is still at risk of being sacked. A lucky win over Fulham could not help Man Utd much. The club is still ranked 8th in the Premier League table with 18 points after 11 matches, 9 points behind leaders 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 played the ball very well from the back but we pressed them so they could not play as they wanted.
Obviously, we need to improve our attacking ability. The team needs to create more chances in the penalty area. However, the team's composure in today's match was a step forward."
