A shocking statistic among Manchester United managers has revealed another side of the coin on Erik ten Hag's spell in Man United's dugout.

As per Sky Sports, Erik ten Hag will overtake legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson with the highest win rate if Manchester United defeat Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday in the Premier League.

Based on data shared by Sky Sports, Sir Alex Ferguson has the highest win rate at Manchester United dugout with Erik ten Hag coming second.

Sir Alex Ferguson's win rate stands at 59.7% while Erik ten Hag's win rate stands at 57.3%. Should United see off Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Sunday, ten Hag will overtake Alex Ferguson on the ladder.

The surge in Erik ten Hag's win rate has been attributed to his giant stride with Manchester United last season when he debuted in the dugout as United's manager.

The Dutch boasts of an impressive win rate that puts him among elite managers in Europe. This season, his stats has fallen considerably but still enough to keep him second on the ladder behind Sir Alex Ferguson.

Despite ten Hag's buoyant win rate in his first two seasons at the club, he has come under intense pressure recently as Manchester United struggle in the domestic and European scene.

Some sections of Manchester United fans have called for the Dutch to be sacked while others have prayed the club to give time to fix the team.

Meanwhile, for context purposes, it is pertinent to note Sir Alex Ferguson's win rate spans over a decade of his stint as Manchester United manager while Erik ten Hag is just less than two years in Man United's dugout.

Hence, the win rate shouldn't be confused with the performance of the club in the long term under the Dutch. Manchester United have been largely inconsistent this season. A lingering dismal campaign will continue to heap heavy pressure on ten Hag.

Meanwhile, they will face a huge task taking on in-form Ange Postecoglou's Tottenham Hotspur who comfortably dispatched them with a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture early in the season.
