He may be coming under increasing pressure at Manchester United, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer actually has a better record than Jurgen Klopp did at Liverpool after 100 games in charge.
Speculation on Solskjaer's future intensified after he marked his 100th game in the United dugout with a disappointing 1-0 home defeat to Arsenal.
It led to stinging criticism from fans and several of Solskjaer's former Old Trafford teammates, including Roy Keane, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.

What makes it worse for United fans is seeing the success enjoyed by bitter rivals Liverpool in recent seasons under the guidance of Klopp.
But Solskjaer's record after a century of matches beats that of his German counterpart.
From their first 100 games in all competitions at the helm, Solskjaer won 56 games to Klopp's 50. United also scored more goals - 186 to Liverpool's 182 - and enjoyed a win percentage of 56 to 50.
Klopp just outperformed the United man in the Premier League in those first 100 games, however, winning 69 matches to Solskjaer's 65. The Reds also scored 136 goals to United's 111.

Klopp is now closing in on 300 games in charge of Liverpool, while Solskjaer's time is ticking. His Red Devils side have taken just seven points from as many games this season to sit in 15th place in the Premier League table. They have also gone six games without a win at Old Trafford and the knives are being sharpened ahead of a tricky trip to Everton this weekend.
Should Solskjaer fall on his sword, former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is the bookies' favourite to replace him.

Almost a year after being sacked by Tottenham, the Argentine told Sky Sports' Monday Night Football show that he's ready to return to the game.
"I always feel ready to be involved in the game again," he said. "I love football, it's my passion, it's my job.
"I am looking for work. I love the game. I'm working and doing things but it's not the same as being involved every single day and sharing with your players and staff. You miss that, that's the reality.
"It's not stressful when you are working. It's not stressful to go into the training ground, to prepare the team, to compete."
