Manchester United have surprisingly lost more times under Erik ten Hag this season than they ever did under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

The Red Devils have now reached nine Premier League defeats for the season.

Interestingly, the Old Trafford club only lost eight games under Solskjaer in 2019/2020 and six in 2020/2021.

The Red Devils have won a trophy this season - the Carabao Cup - which eluded Solskjaer in his time in charge.

Ten Hag will point to fatigue as the main reason for his side's most recent stumbles.

United have lost two in a row in the league, both 1-0 losses to Brighton and West Ham United.
