• Erik ten Hag has had a mixed debut season with Manchester United since his arrival in the summer of 2022
• The Dutchman has recorded nine defeats so far with the Red Devils, with the losses higher than those recorded by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
• Solskjaer spent more than two years at the helm of affairs at Old Trafford as the manager before he was sacked in 2021

A shocking stat has emerged showing that Manchester United are worse under Erik ten Hag than former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Solskjaer was appointed United's permanent manager in March 2019 to replace Jose Mourinho, who had been sacked after a string of poor performances.

While the Red Devils legend was handed a three-year contract at the time, he was only able to last under two years at the helm of affairs at Old Trafford.

According to Sky Sports, Ole's sacking came after an "embarrassing" 4-1 defeat at Watford, with the former striker departing without winning a title as United manager.

The Red Devils went on to have Michael Carrick and Ralf Rangnick as interim bosses before the club made a permanent appointment in the shape of Ten Hag.

Ten Hag's bright start

The Dutchman arrived at Old Trafford in April 2022 and has gone on to enjoy a bright start to life with the Manchester club.

The former Ajax boss needed just six months to end United's long wait for a trophy, having helped the club win the Carabao Cup back in February.

Man United are also in a pole position to add yet another trophy before the end of the season when they come up against rivals Man City in the final of this season's FA Cup.
