Erik ten Hag is under pressure to be fired, but the figures show that he is the coach with the highest winning rate at MU.
According to the British press, Erik ten Hag is gradually losing control of the MU dressing room, when more than half of the players on the team are said to be increasingly ‘bored’ with the Dutch military leader.
Erik ten Hag is losing control of the MU dressing room?
The reason is said to stem from Erik ten Hag’s ‘mechanical’ stubbornness in both people management and on-field exercises.
In the eyes of some MU stars, the Dutch teacher can behave more rhythmically, as well as need freshness in exercises instead of mainly… running and running.
Last weekend, MU suffered its 10th loss (when visiting Newcastle) after 21 appearances in all competitions. They are ranked 7th in the Premier League with 8 wins and 6 losses, while facing the risk of being eliminated early in the Champions League as they are at the bottom of Group A.
Because the results were not as expected, Erik ten Hag is under a lot of pressure and faces the risk of being fired by MU if he does not quickly turn the situation around.

But there is a surprising truth, statistics show that Erik ten Hag is MU’s best coach with a higher win rate than any of his predecessors (excluding interim coaches).
Specifically, Erik ten Hag won 51 of his first 83 matches with MU, achieving a win rate of 61.45%. This number is higher than Sir Alex Ferguson.
The great coach ended 26 years in the ‘hot seat’ of MU with a winning rate of 59.67%, winning 895 after 1,500 matches.
Jose Mourinho ranked third on the list with 58.33% in 144 matches leading MU, while Solskjaer won with 54.17% of 168 matches.
