Erik Ten Hag’s incredible stats so far at Manchester United 

In his 27 games in charge of the club in 22/23, Erik Ten Hag has achieved a 72.1% win rate. This is higher than the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, who spent the majority of his career with the Premier League giants and is responsible for a lot of their modern success. Ten Hag is also the fastest Manchester United manager to reach 20 wins. 

They have also surpassed Manchester City and Arsenal in the most successful counter pressing figures, with their rate coming at just under 30%. United are also the only club this season to have won all 11 games where they have taken the lead first.
