This weekend, Erik ten Hag will reach a significant milestone as he manages his 100th game for Manchester United.
What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that ten Hag’s win percentage surpasses that of legendary managers Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby.
With a win percentage of 60.6%, ten Hag has already proven himself as a successful leader for the club.
Since taking charge in May 2022, ten Hag has guided Manchester United to 60 wins, 12 draws, and 27 defeats.
Despite the possibility of a heavy defeat in the upcoming Manchester derby, his win percentage will still keep him ahead of Sir Alex Ferguson, a testament to his managerial prowess.
It is undeniable that Sir Alex Ferguson is regarded as one of the greatest managers in football history.
Over his tenure from November 1986 to May 2013, Ferguson led Manchester United to numerous honors, including 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, five FA Cups, and four League Cups.
His win percentage of 59.7% speaks volumes about his success and impact on the club.
Another notable manager in Manchester United’s post-war history is Jose Mourinho, whose win percentage stands at 58.3%.
Mourinho’s tenure from May 2016 to December 2018 saw him guide the team to victories in the Europa League, League Cup, and Community Shield.
Despite facing challenges with a struggling squad, Mourinho’s achievements should not be overlooked.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with a win percentage of 54.2%, holds a special place in Manchester United’s recent history.
Although he did not secure any honors during his tenure from December 2018 to November 2021, Solskjaer’s positive impact on the team was evident.
His interim spell showcased his ability to inspire the players, and he came close to a Europa League triumph.
Lastly, David Moyes, with a win percentage of 52.9%, faced a challenging task following in the footsteps of Sir Alex Ferguson.
Despite a relatively short tenure from July 2013 to April 2014, Moyes managed to win the Community Shield.
While it may be premature to compare him to the likes of Ferguson and Busby, his achievements deserve recognition.
