Paul Fennessy THREE YEARS ago, Tottenham hosted Man United in the Premier League , and fans jokingly branded the game ‘El Sackico’.
The pressure was not quite as intense today, but there is no doubt that both the clubs’ current managers have been under pressure already this season. Many pundits had expected the new structure at United with Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS on board to instigate a change of manager. Instead, they opted to back Ten Hag.
Per Stats perform, the visitors had nine big chances, the joint-most-ever created in a Premier League game along with Arsenal-Fulham in January 2019.The only consolation for United was that the winning margin was not more emphatic. On 18 September, 88th and 92nd-minute goals rescued his side from a humiliating League Cup exit at the hands of Championship outfit Coventry City.14 days ago, Brennan Johnson had to deactivate his Instagram account because the abuse he was receiving from fans was so intense.Johnson and Postecoglou will feel vindicated despite their rocky start to the campaign.
Yet perhaps the biggest difference between Postecoglou and Ten Hag is how they adapted to English football.
