Man Utd fans shocked as Erik ten Hag named Premier League Manager of the Month for November.
Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been named Barclays Premier League Manager of the Month for November, and supporters are stunned.
Manchester United was the only team without a defeat, with a perfect winning record including victories over Everton, Fulham, and Luton Town.
They were also the only team to spend the whole month without scoring. Despite this, the team’s poor Champions League performance and off-field upheaval have created the impression that the Red Devils are in trouble. Fans had to verify the official statement twice since they couldn’t trust the Dutchman’s choice.
Three wins without conceding 👏

Ten Hag has secured his third Manager of the Month award, having previously won in September 2022 and February 2023. Additionally, his defender, Harry Maguire, clinched the Premier League Player of the Month title. Maguire’s resurgence is noteworthy, considering he regained the Dutch coach’s approval after initially being transfer-listed in the summer.
The only manager to surpass the Dutchman’s achievement in winning the award is Manchester United legend Sir Alex Ferguson, who earned the prestigious title 27 times for the Red Devils, with the last instance occurring in October 2012.
Looking ahead, Ten Hag’s team is set to face Bournemouth on Saturday, December 9, aiming to extend their successful run in the Premier League. With potential considerations for rest, the Red Devils may strategically plan their lineup for the upcoming clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
