Erik ten Hag completed his 100th game in charge of Manchester United achieving a top three Premier League finish and Carabao Cup success last season. However, this season has been challenging notably marked by Manchester City 3-1 win. Comparisons with other post-war Manchester United managers reveal their win percentages:

1. Dave Sexton – 40.3% (201 games)
2. Tommy Docherty – 46.9% (228 games)
3. Ron Atkinson – 50% (292 games)
4. Matt Busby – 51.4% (1141 games)
5. Louis van Gaal – 52.4% (103 games)
6. David Moyes – 52.9% (51 games)
7. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer – 54.2% (168 games)
8. Jose Mourinho – 58.3% (144 games)
9. Alex Ferguson – 59.7% (1500 games)
10. Erik ten Hag – 60% (ongoing)

Erik Ten Hag 60% win rate places him among the highest but the road to restoring the club’s former glory remains a challenge. New ownership and direction under INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe add uncertainty to Ten Hag’s long-term leadership.
