Stats Show Ten Hag Has Better Premier League Start Than Guardiola, Klopp

• Manchester United have had a mixed start to the new season, picking just two wins in four outings
• United's latest outing ended in a 3-1 dramatic defeat against rivals at the Emirates Stadium
• The defeat sparked anger from a section of fans, with some calling for the sacking of Erik ten Hag

Erik ten Hag has come under immense pressure since the start of the new season following Manchester United's shaky start to the campaign.

The Red Devils have been far from convincing in four of their most recent outings, winning two of the fixtures and losing two others.

United's most recent match ended in a 3-1 humiliating defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, September 3.

The Manchester club were seemingly in control before a collapse in the closing stages of the tie saw the Gunners stage a dramatic comeback to cart home the three points.

The Guardian reports that two late goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus were enough to see off United, rendering Marcus Rashford's opener a mere consolation.

The defeat put Ten Hag's United tenure under sharp focus, with a section of disgruntled fans suggesting he could not be the right man for the job.

Ten Hag better than Pep, Klopp

However, stats show that the Dutchman, who has spent just a season at the Theatre of Dreams, has actually had a better start to life in the Premier League than Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, and Mikel Arteta.

According to stats crunched by talkSPORT, Ten Hag beats the trio in nearly every aspect of the win ratio.

Arteta, Klopp, and Pep are currently the benchmark for EPL success for managers considering how much they have transformed their teams.

However, Ten Hag is clearly ahead of them when comparing the trio's win ratio and the Dutchman's.

The former Ajax boss had a 72 percent win ratio after 25 games in charge.

On his part, Pep had 56 percent, same as Arteta, while Klopp had just 48 per cent.

After about 40 games which came before the Emirates showdown, Ten Hag had garnered 78 points, and Klopp had 71 points, eight more than Arteta's 63. Pep got 82 points, just four more than Ten Hag's.

How much have the managers achieved?

Considering Pep, Arteta, and Klopp have been in the Premier League a little longer than Ten Hag, they have obviously won more trophies in the process.

Guardiola has won an eye-watering 13 major trophies at the Etihad Stadium, including the Champions League, which he lifted last season.

Klopp, meanwhile, has won 12, with Arteta securing three, including their most recent triumph in the Community Shield.

On his part, Ten Hag won United the Carabao Cup last season, in what was the club's first major title since 2017, when they secured the Europa League under Jose Mourinho.
