Eric Turn Haach, who has been criticized for his poor performance recently, has ranked first in the Manchester United head coach’s winning percentage in history.
British media “The Sun” reported on the 4th (Korea time) that “Ericton Haach achieved his 100th game as Manchester United manager with a better record than Jose Mourinho.”
Manchester United scored the first goal in an away match against Manchester City in the 27th round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on the 4th, but later allowed three goals and lost 1-3.
The showdown between Manchester United and Manchester City, the strong team representing the Premier League, is a rival match that is also of great interest around the world. In particular, this match against Manchester City was the 100th game of his career since manager Turn Haach took office in Manchester United, so many Manchester United fans expected to win.
Manchester United, which was completely defeated 0-3 in the first Manchester derby of the season at home in October last year, got off to a good start in the away game, raising expectations. Marcus Rashford scored the first goal eight minutes into the first half and succeeded in gaining the upper hand.
After scoring the first goal, Manchester United succeeded in finishing the first half 1-0 but failed to take advantage of the scoring opportunity and continued to give up the lead of the game to Manchester City, eventually giving Phil Foden an equalizer and a come-from-behind goal in succession, and suffered a come-from-behind defeat by giving up a decisive goal to Elling Holan in the extra time of the second half.
As the match ended with Manchester United’s 1-3 complete defeat, both of the Manchester derbies were recorded as defeats. Due to the defeat, Manchester United, ranking sixth in the league, maintained 44 points (14 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses), failing to narrow the gap with Tottenham Hotspur (ranking fifth with 50 points).
After the game, many people criticized manager Turn Haach, who played his 100th game of Manchester United’s career. According to the soccer statistics media ‘Foot Mob’, Manchester City led the game with 73% of the ball possession. In terms of the number of shots, while Manchester City recorded 27 times, Manchester United attempted only three shots, showing a one-sided loss to Manchester City. In particular, Manchester United did not try a single shot in the regular second half until Casemiro scored a header shot in the second half.
James Burt, a reporter for the British media “Telegraph,” said on social media, “Manchester United was surprised to meet a big club in the cup and played like a league 1 (third division) team trying to protect it,” adding, “The gap between Manchester United and Manchester City is huge.”
Amid a barrage of criticism over the contents of the game, “The Sun” investigated the winning rate of manager Turn Haach when he played his 100th match of Manchester United’s career and compared it to the winning rate of the previous Manchester United manager. At this time, the victory rate of manager Turn Haach was higher than that of Manchester United’s legendary leader Alex Ferguson, drawing attention.
According to media, Turn Haach, who has led Manchester United since the 2022-23 season, recorded a 60 percent winning rate with 60 wins, 12 draws, and 28 losses in 100 games. This is slightly higher than Ferguson’s 59.7 percent (896 wins, 338 draws, and 267 losses), who led 1,500 games.
Manchester United’s second-highest winning percentage after Ferguson is Jose Mourinho. Mourinho, who recorded a 58.3% winning rate (84 wins, 32 draws and 28 losses) from May 2016 until he was replaced in December 2018, won the Carabao Cup, Community Shield, and UEFA Europa League in his debut season, and Manchester United had no trophies before winning the Carabao Cup under Turn Haach last season.
Manchester United ranked fourth in overall win percentage by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (54.2 percent), who was a legendary player, and David Moyes (52.9 percent), who replaced Ferguson, came in fifth. Louis van Gaal (52.4 percent), who took the helm after Moyes was dismissed, came in sixth.
Last season, United had a successful year under Turn Haach. He lifted the trophy for the first time in six years by winning the Carabao Cup, and he also finished third in the Premier League, advancing to the UEFA Champions League stage. 유흥알바
However, in the 2023-24 season, the second year of his career, coach Turn Haach is in danger. He finished fourth in the Champions League group stage and was eliminated early on, and is currently in sixth place in the league, and is on the verge of setting a new record for the most losses in a single season in Manchester United’s history.
With 11 games to go until the end of the season, Manchester United has had 11 losses in the Premier League this season, including a loss at the match against Manchester City. Since the launch of the Premier League in 1992, Manchester United has lost the most in a single season with 12 losses (2013-14, 2021-22).
If he loses more than two games in the remaining 11 games, coach Turn Haach will rewrite Manchester United’s disgraceful history. Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Newcastle United are among the remaining opponents, and many thought it was only a matter of time before the record was broken.
With a good overall winning rate but a sluggish year, doubts have risen over whether coach Turn Haach will lead Manchester United next season. Jim Ratcliffe, chairman of Ineos Group, who recently became a co-owner of Manchester United, is reportedly considering replacing the manager.
The Sun also said, “Although Inos and Sir Jim Ratcliffe have become Manchester United’s new owners, it is not yet known whether they think Turn Haach is the one to lead the club in the long term.”
