What is Erik ten Hag’s record at Manchester United and how does it compare to his predecessors post Sir Alex Ferguson?
Erik ten Hag is coming under increasing pressure with Manchester United going through their worst start to a season in 61 years.
The Dutch manager is facing criticism as his side continue to perform well below the club’s usual high standards at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag is not on the brink of being sacked, talkSPORT understands, but a quick turnaround in results is desperately needed if he wants to keep his job.
Man United have failed to find a long-term boss post-Sir Alex Ferguson with the club struggling to live up to the success achieved under the icon.
However, getting rid of Ten Hag may prove to be a mistake as he actually boasts an impressive win record compared to his predecessors…
Ten Hag has a win percentage of 62.3 per cent and one trophy.
He has taken charge of 77 games as United manager, winning 48 of those matches.
United have lost 20 under the Dutchman and have only drawn nine.

Under Ten Hag, they have conceded 89 goals in 77 games and that means they average over one goal conceded per match.
Incredibly, Ten Hag has the best win percentage out of any permanent United manager in the history of the club.
His 62.3 per cent win rate is above Sir Alex, with Jose Mourinho the closest competitor when it comes to post-Ferguson predecessors with a 58.3 per cent win rate.
