Every Manchester United manager’s win percentage Over the long and varied history of Manchester United, the Red Devils have employed some of the most iconic and successful managers in world history, legendary figures such as Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby, who helped transform the club into the institution it is today. Unfortunately, not every manager or head coach who arrives at Old Trafford is able to handle the intense pressure and scrutiny that comes with the role. Neither David Moyes nor Ruben Amorim finished a whole season at the club, with poor results and performances causing both to lose their jobs .

Here we take a look at the win rate of every Manchester United manager. First, the top five: Ruud van Nistelrooy Former United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy was brought in to steady the ship after Erik ten Hag lost his job. While he only oversaw four games in his brief tenure, he managed to win three of them, giving him a win rate of 75 percent.

Unfortunately, the legendary goalscorer did not manage to replicate his impressive win rate when he took over at Leicester shortly after this stint at United. His team managed just five wins from 27 Premier League games, resulting in relegation from the top flight. Michael Carrick Back at the club for his second spell in charge of his former club, Michael Carrick has enjoyed tremendous success across both his stints in charge of the Red Devils.

Since returning to the club in January, he has won the most points in the league , losing just twice. His impressive performances in the dugout have led to many fans and pundits calling for him to be given the job on a permanent basis . Only time will tell what happens, but either way, United’s former midfield maestro can hold his head high, knowing the club is in better shape now than it was when he arrived.

Sir Alex Ferguson Sir Alex Ferguson may only have the third-best win rate in Manchester United history, but there is no doubting he is the club’s most successful ever manager . He won 38 trophies during his 26 years at the club while ensuring his teams played blisteringly fast football. The legendary Scotsman provided United fans with countless memorable moments such as a 9-0 victory over Ipswich , the introduction of the Class of ’92, and, most impressively, the unforgettable treble season of 1999.
