How does Carrick's record compare to other Man Utd managers?

[Getty Images] Michael Carrick has been sacked by Manchester United after only 32 games in charge. Including Ralf Rangnick's six month spell as caretaker manager, United have now been through eight permanent managers since Sir Alex Ferguson retired in 2013. Despite managing to rescue their season and finish third in the 2025-26 Premier League, United have since endured their worst start to a season in 40 years and are in the relegation zone after only one win in 10 matches. Carrick ranks sixth out of eight managers for win ratio (47%) at Manchester United in all competitions since Ferguson retired (not including his two games as caretaker in 2021). However, during his tenure Carrick produced United's best points per game ratio (1.74) since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (1.81), ranking him third out of eight managers. So how does his time in charge compare to other managers at Old Trafford? How does his record compare? Ruben Amorim Ruben Amorim departed Old Trafford only 10 months ago [Getty Images] Period in charge: November 2024-January 2026 Number of games: 63 Win percentage: 38% Trophies: None Ruben Amorim departed the club after 14 months in charge . In the 63 games under his tenure, United won 24 matches, drew 18 and lost on 21 occasions - earning the 40-year-old Portuguese the unfortunate record of the worst win ratio (38%) of any permanent United boss. His record of 1.23 points per game in the Premier League was the lowest of all managers at Old Trafford since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. Amorim also had the worst goals conceded per game ratio in the league (1.53) and the lowest league clean sheet ratio (15%) of any United manager. They finished 15th in Amorim's first season in charge and also reached the Europa League final, where they lost 1-0 to Tottenham in Bilbao. Erik ten Hag Erik ten Hag won two trophies during his time in charge of Manchester United [Getty Images] Period in charge: May 2022-October 2024 Number of games: 128 Win percentage: 54.7% Trophies: Two Erik ten Hag took charge of Manchester United for more than two years - winning 70 of the 128 games played under his leadership. Their win ratio in the Premier League during that time was 51.8% - the third highest of permanent managers at the club since Ferguson. He guided United to a third place finish in his first season and earned their first piece of silverware in six seasons with a 2-0 win against Newcastle in the 2023 Carabao Cup final. He also took the Red Devils to the FA Cup final, losing 2-1 to rivals Manchester City during that campaign. The Dutchman made amends by beating City in the following season's FA Cup final, but Ten Hag was sacked after a poor start to the 2024-25 season, ending with 1.72 points per game during his tenure. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Period in charge: December 2018-November 2021 Number of games: 168 Win percentage: 54.2% Trophies: Zero Former forward Ole Gunnar Solskjaer became the club's 25th manager in December 2018. Solskjaer oversaw a win rate of 54.2% as his side won 91 of the 168 games played across all competitions. The Norwegian had a 51.4% win ratio in the top-flight, but his failure to earn silverware and challenge for the title proved to be his undoing. United reached the semi-final of the FA Cup in his second season in charge and also reached the Europa League final a year later. He recorded his best league finish of second in 2020-21. But Solskjaer departed in November 2021 after a run of just one win in seven Premier League games.

In the Premier League, his win ratio was 53.8%, again the highest since Ferguson. His side's points per game was 1.89 in the Premier League. Mourinho won the Community Shield and the Europa League in his first season. In the 2017-18 season, his side finished second, but lost the 2018 FA Cup final to Chelsea.

Louis van Gaal Period in charge: July 2014-May 2016 Number of games: 103 Win percentage: 52.4% Trophies: One Louis van Gaal took charge of Manchester United for two years until he was sacked days after winning the FA Cup and was replaced by Mourinho. Van Gaal oversaw a mixed period of results on the pitch - winning 54 games during his time in charge and earning a win rate of 52.4%. He had a 51.3% win percentage in the league (1.79 points per game) as Van Gaal achieved fourth and fifth place league finishes to add to the FA Cup win. David Moyes Period in charge: July 2013-April 2014 Number of games: 51 Win percentage: 52.9% Trophies: One David Moyes was handed the keys at Old Trafford after legendary boss Ferguson brought an end to his 26-year managerial stint at the club.
