Erik Ten Hag is up against it at Manchester United according to the odds after he was officially announced as the new permanent manager at Old Trafford.
Ten Hag is odds-on at 10/11 to improve on that by ending his United tenure with a win percentage between 50-55%, but the chances of him boasting a percentage above 60% by the end of his stint are rated at a remote 12/1.
...with the League Cup rated his most likely source of silverware at 4/1.
Tuesday’s 4-0 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield means Manchester United face an uphill struggle to finish in the top four this season, with their chances pushed all the way out to 16/1 from 8/1 ahead of an away trip to Arsenal this weekend.
“The early betting does show some positivity for Erik Ten Hag, who is being well backed to improve on Ralf Rangnick’s dismal win percentage and a league title under the Dutchman has also been clipped into 5/1 from 6/1.
"But punters are in no doubt about the size of the task at hand and that is reflected in the fact he’s odds-on to end his spell at United without a single trophy to show for it.”
