‘The only win and no-goal record’ Revives the famous soccer family… Manchester United, manager, player and goal of the month ‘sweep’ [오피셜] | Goal.com Korean

[골닷컴] Reporter Kang Dong-hoon = Manchester United announced the revival of a famous soccer family. Manchester United was the only team among the 20 clubs in the English Premier League (EPL) to record all wins in the month of November and even achieved a clean sheet, continuing its ‘absolutely remarkable’ upward trend, and ‘swept’ all the manager, player, and goals of the month in November. It is no exaggeration to say that November is truly ‘Manchester United Month’.

The EPL Secretariat announced the managers, players, and goals of the month for November on the official website on the 8th (Korean time). All three category winners came from the same Manchester United team. The coach of the month was coach Eric ten Haag (53, Netherlands), the player of the month was Harry Maguire (30, England), and the goal went to Alejandro Garnacho (19, Argentina).

The EPL Secretariat said, “Coach Ten Haag was selected as Manager of the Month for November. “This is his third award, following September of last year and February of this year,” he said. “Among all Manchester United coaches, he is the second-most winner after former manager Alex Ferguson (81, Scotland), who won the award 27 times, and is among the 32 coaches who have won the Coach of the Month award three times in EPL history. “One person,” he explained.

He continued, “Maguire was selected as Player of the Month for November. “Over the past month, he has returned to the Best 11 and received the trust of Manager Ten Haag, and he has performed brilliantly to prevent Manchester United from conceding a single goal for a month,” he said. “Maguire is ahead of Rio Ferdinand (45, England) and Nemanja Vidic in Manchester United history. He added, “He is the third defender after (42, Serbia) and the 15th defender to be selected as Player of the Month in EPL history.”

Lastly, the EPL secretariat said, “Garnacho was selected as the Goal of the Month for November,” adding, “Garnacho attempted an incredibly sensational overhead kick against Everton, shaking the net and setting the score in motion,” adding, “This is the first goal in recent memory.” “It was one of the best goals in the EPL, and it elicited an amazing response from soccer fans all over the world.”

Starting with the match against Fulham (1-0 win) on the 4th of last month, Manchester United recorded all wins including the match against Luton Town (1-0 win) and Everton (3-0 win). This was the only win among the 20 EPL clubs. At the same time, he even recorded no goals in three games. Until October, Manchester United stayed in the middle of the rankings, going back and forth between 8th and 10th place, but last month they laid the foundation for a turnaround and have now risen to 6th place (27 points).

In this process, there was excellent leadership from coach Ten Haag. When the team fell into a slump after the start of this season, their leadership was on the chopping block and they received strong criticism, but they pushed forward with tenacity and changed the atmosphere of Manchester United again. In addition, Maguire and Garnacho consistently started as starters and performed brilliantly in defense and attack, respectively. In particular, Maguire regained his starting position and emerged as a key defender.

Manchester United is currently in 6th place and is looking for a higher ranking. Right now, they have the same number of points as 5th place Tottenham Hotspur (27 points), and there is only one game gap with 4th place Manchester City (30 points), which is the Maginot Line that grants qualification to the UEFA Champions League (UCL). As the recent upward trend continues, it is possible to overturn the ranking.
