Seven years ago, Manchester United got their 20th elite name in England in the last season of Alex Ferguson (more football news).
Robin van Persie’s magical hat-trick at Old Trafford secured a 3-0 win over Aston Villa and ensured that the Premier League trophy was taken from Manchester City.
At the end of the 2012–13 season, Ferguson replaced “El Elegido”, David Moyes, who oversaw 34 league games before his six-year contract ended mercilessly after a depressing loss to former Everton.
Since then, there have been ups and downs with Louis van Gaal, José Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but there have been signs that United nevertheless went back on track before the coronavirus pandemic ended football.
However, as Opta’s knowledge shows, Moyes’ 2013-14 and Solskjaer’s 2019-20 appearance are very different.
POINTS TO CHECK
United played 29 games this season before the season was interrupted, winning 12, dying nine and losing eight. That left them on forty-five tracks, with an average of 1. 55 tracks consistent with the game.
Moyes has lost 11 of his 34 league games in charge, but has won precisely one part (17) and averaged 1. 68 points consistent with the game. That number is closer to Ferguson’s 2012–13 team, which won 28 and lost five league games throughout the season. , with an average of 2. 34 game-consistent issues.
As a smart move, Ryan Giggs won two of his 4 games in rate after Moyes’ departure, with an average of 1. 75 points consistent with the game. His defeat came here at home in Sunderland.
OLE BE BLUNTED
Solskjaer has been content to settle for the demands of United’s fan base when it comes to attacking football, but less than Moyes, perhaps.
With 44 scored this quarter, United averaged 1. 5 goals consistent with the game, less than 1. 65 in 2013-14, when Moyes’ team scored times in 34 games.
It’s not about the need to try. In 2019-20, United attempted 429 shots, a 14. 8 average consistent with the game, a number higher than 13. 4 under Moyes. They have already had more framed shots this season (166) than under Moyes (161), despite five games in fact, their average of 5. 7 shots consistent with the game is higher than the 5. 6 recorded in Ferguson’s last season.
So why is purpose a problem? Well, Solskjaer’s men this season have changed only 10. 3% of their shots, with Moyes, the rate was 12. 25 and 15. 3 in 2012-13.
No wonder Solskjaer asked his attackers to exercise the blockade further.
HARRY’S BACK
One thing about Solskjaer United that is overlooked is that they seem to be becoming more powerful and more powerful.
United has conceded 40 goals in Moyes’ 34 games, or 1. 2 consistent with the game In 2019-20, that number is more than one consistent with the game They kept 8 white sheets this quarter, 4 less than Moyes’ account.
On average this season, United faced 10. 45 shots consistent with the game, well below 12. 3 under Moyes and 12. 8 in Ferguson’s last period, when a leaky defense was sometimes rescued through the Van Persie-inspired line of attack. Solskjaer’s team has faced an average of 3. 6 consistent with the game this season, under Moyes and Ferguson (3. 9).
United’s ownership in 2019-20 has come down from 2013-14 and 2012-13 (54% on average, compared to 55 and 56), apparently they don’t have to stop the ball from coming in. for a team with 80 million pounds, Harry Maguire, as a central.
BIG-SIX CALL
The figures seem to imply that there is much separating Solskjaer in 2019-20 and Moyes in 2013-14, so why is the Scottish season such a painful reminiscence for fans, when the current boss has a lot of support?
One of the reasons is his respective record opposed to the so-called ”big six” of the Premier League, which does make a satisfied reading for Moyes.
In 10 games, Moyes has controlled only one win over the war parties: a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford in November, he suffered six losses, scored only six goals and conceded 18, adding six in 3-0 in a row. home defeats to Liverpool and Manchester City.
Solskjaer, for his part, has a gift for beating the greats. This season, United have won five and lost two of their nine big six games, scoring 14 goals and conceting eight. This 55. 6% win percentage is higher than last season. ferguson’s rate, when United won five out of 10, lost three, scored 17 and conceded 15.
THE VERDICT:
It seems that United is better in defense and worse in attack now than with Moyes. However, given Solskjaer’s shock conversion deficit, symptoms are emerging that they are creating enough opportunities to score more targets and just want a cooler head to bring key numbers to life. Maybe this is where the rumor of interest in Harry Kane comes in.
While they may be a little more ruthless and hold their formidable record against the most powerful teams, United seem to be heading for better times under Solskjaer. The same cannot be said on April 22, 2014, when the Moyes era collapsed.
