This is impressive compared to Ten Hag&#8217;s numbers, given he managed United for 144 matches, while the Dutchman has done just 77 to date.<\/p>\n<p>United played 168 games under Solskjaer from 2018 to 2021, conceding 0.98 goals per game.<\/p>\n<p>It was under the Norwegian where they scored the most goals per game at a rate of 1.92, ahead of Mourinho and David Moyes on 1.69 and Ten Hag&#8217;s 1.66.<\/p>\n<p>Van Gaal and David Moyes&#8217;
