Manchester United\u2019s wild defeat to FC Copenhagen put their Champions League progress in doubt and increased the scrutiny on manager Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n
Despite the best winning percentage of any permanent United manager, a recent poor run has left him needing to defend his position.<\/p>\n
Here, the PA news agency looks at the records of United\u2019s managers since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013.<\/p>\n
Played 51: Won 27, Drew 9, Lost 15.Goals per game: For 1.69, Against 1.06.Win rate: 53 per cent<\/strong><\/p>\n Trophies: Community Shield 2013<\/p>\n The Scot took just one game to win a trophy, the Community Shield against Wigan, as Ferguson\u2019s hand-picked successor. There was little else to celebrate, though, as he failed to even see out the first of the six seasons on his contract. He was sacked after 10 months, with Ryan Giggs finishing the campaign as caretaker manager. Moyes struggled subsequently at Real Sociedad and Sunderland but has rebuilt his reputation with West Ham, winning last season\u2019s Europa Conference League.<\/p>\n P103: W54, D25, L24.Goals per game: F 1.53, A 0.95Win rate: 52 per cent<\/strong><\/p>\n Trophies: FA Cup 2016<\/p>\n United\u2019s previous Dutch boss never truly convinced the Old Trafford faithful after a dreadful winless start against Swansea, Sunderland, third-tier MK Dons and Burnley. His side did improve and Van Gaal signed off with an FA Cup win, beating Crystal Palace in extra-time, but his win percentage was the lowest of the post-Ferguson era until Ralf Rangnick\u2019s spell in interim charge.<\/p>\n P144: W84, D32, L28.Goals per game: F 1.69, A 0.84Win rate: 58 per cent<\/strong><\/p>\n Trophies: Europa League 2017, League Cup 2017, Community Shield 2016<\/p>\n Mourinho is probably United\u2019s most successful manager since Ferguson \u2013 winning 58 per cent of his games, with a runner-up finish in the Premier League and adding a League Cup and Europa League double in 2016-17. His, though, was an erratic and ill-tempered spell, with a defensive style of play and fallings-out with players, leaving the fans cold.<\/p>\n P167: W91, D37, L39.Goals per game: F 1.84, A 1.07Win rate: 54 per cent<\/strong><\/p>\n Trophies: None<\/p>\n The much-loved former United striker proved almost the inverse of his predecessor, with a fluid and attacking style but inconsistent results. A stunning spell as caretaker \u2013 winning 14 games out of 19 \u2013 deservedly earned him the job on a permanent basis but he came nowhere near emulating that 74 per cent win rate from then on. He left in November 2021 after United won just three of his last 10 games and conceded 15 goals in the last six, the first United manager since Frank O\u2019Farrell in the early 1970s not to add to the club\u2019s trophy cabinet.<\/p>\n P29: W11, D10, L8.Goals per game: F 1.28, A 1.28Win rate: 38 per cent<\/strong><\/p>\n Trophies: None<\/p>\n After Michael Carrick\u2019s three games as caretaker, in November 2021, Rangnick was tasked with seeing out the season as interim boss before moving into a consultancy role with the club \u2013 which was ultimately cancelled as he took charge of the Austria national team. He began with five games unbeaten but drew far too many \u2013 losing on penalties to Middlesbrough in the FA Cup \u2013 as he became the first United boss since Dave Sexton\u2019s 1981 departure to win fewer than half of his games in charge.<\/p>\nLouis Van Gaal<\/h2>\n
