Lack of Victory Percentage Makes Solskjaer Man United’s Worst Manager

DBasia.news –  Manchester United will not play in the Champions League, but the Europa League next season, as this season they are ranked sixth in the Premier League standings.

The poor achievement of the Red Devils cannot be separated from the performance of Paul Pogba and mates after the club decided to make Ole Gunnar Solksjaer manager. Maybe this time United regretted the decision to make Solskjaer a permanent coach.

Solskjaer returned to United by becoming a temporary coach / Manchester United caretaker on December 19, 2018. He entered the position of Jose Mourinho who was fired.

Under Solskjaer’s command, United seemed to get a second wind. They returned to enjoying the young months by carving extraordinary results.

In 19 parties in all competitions, Solskjaer led Manchester United to win 14 times, 2 draws and 3 loses. In other words, MU recorded a winning percentage reaching 73.7 percent.

The record is higher than what had been achieved by previous coaches who were legendary types such as Sir Alex Ferguson (59.67 percent) or Sir Matt Busby (52.38 percent). Yes, at that time Solksjaer was better than Fergie and Busby.

A neat note and public euphoria made the club management sure to immediately decide to maintain the status of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as manager on March 28. Even Solksjaer was immediately tied to a three-year contract.

However, the honeymoon phase didn’t last long. After Manchester United tied Solskjaer, they collapsed. In 10 matches, United have only won twice, 2 draws and lost 6 times.

Indeed, United had a surprise in the Champions League by getting rid of Paris Saint-Germain. But the surprise came to an end after the Red Devils were kicked out by Barcelona.

In total, after Solskjaer’s status as a permanent coach, United only recorded a percentage of 20 percent success. It dropped dramatically when compared to the period before Solksjaer was permanent.

The 20 percent rate suddenly put Solksjaer as the worst coach of Manchester United of all time. Yes, there has never been a Red Devils coach with this winning percentage as low as this.

Solksjaer was even worse than Jimmy Murphy in United’s dark days in the range February-June 1958. At that time, Murphy recorded a winning percentage of 22.73 percent.
