Manchester United players Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Marcus Rashford have lifted the lid on Erik ten Hag's impact after a half-century of matches as manager.
Thursday's disappointing 2-2 draw with Sevilla in the Europa League quarter-final was the 50th match of Ten Hag's mammoth first season in charge of United. Despite surrendering that lead late on, the Dutchman has still made the strongest start in the club's history by winning 70 per cent of his games in charge so far, a win ratio that far eclipses even Sir Alex Ferguson and Sir Matt Busby's initial records.
Ten Hag having the longevity of those two legendary figures would be another achievement entirely, but the early returns are positive. The impact he has already had at Old Trafford is clear - and his players concur too.
