Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has a much better win rate in his first 25 games as United manager compared to Premier League winners Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp.
The impressive statistic describes how well Ten Hag has coped with life at Old Trafford and is now reaping the rewards.
Ten Hag’s spell at United started poorly, with back-to-back defeats to Brighton and Brentford in the team’s first Premier League games.
Since then, however, the Red Devils have gradually risen and now sit fourth in the league table, just one point behind Manchester City and level on points with Newcastle.
The Magpies have played one game more than United.
Ten Hag has had to deal with a lot so far during his time on the bench. A tumultuous transfer window that now, in retrospect, appears to have been successful is one such problem.
The Dutchman also had to deal with the Cristiano Ronaldo saga, which he handled perfectly and came out stronger.
Ten Hag has a brilliant 72% winning percentage in his first 25 games at United.
This is significantly higher than former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel, City manager Pep Guardiola, Jurgen Klopp, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Tottenham boss Antonio Conte.
Tuchel ranks second on the list with a percentage rate of 68%.
Guardiola follows Tuchel with 56%.
Arteta also has 56%, with Klopp and Conte gathering 52%.

This statistic is a massive vindication of the work that Ten Hag is doing thus far and continues to do. It should be a source of encouragement to all fans who dream of better days to come and a return to the glory days.
