A 38-year low! Man Utd's in worse start since before Sir Alex Ferguson era as Red Devils stat shows mammoth task that awaits Ruben Amorim

Premier League

Leicester

Ipswich

<p>United drew 1-1 with Chelsea at Old Trafford to continue their poor form in the Premier League. The Red Devils have won just three games this season and sit in 13th position - their 12 points from 10 games is their worst start to a league campaign since 1986-87 where they accrued just eight points,<a href="https://x.com/OptaJoe/status/1853146596403565048" target="_blank"> as per Opta</a>. Their poor form led to <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/time-finally-runs-out-for-erik-ten-hag-man-utd-set-to-sack-coach-nightmare-start/bltbc78659f6992704c" target="_blank">the sacking of Erik ten Hag </a>and incoming replacement Ruben Amorim has a lot of work to do.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">12 - With just 12 points won, this is Manchester United’s worst return after 10 games of a league campaign since 1986-87 (8).

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>The opening 10 games of the 1986-87 season in which United earned only eight points was overseen by Ron Atkinson who was then replaced by Sir Alex Ferguson.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Amorim's task is clear and he has serious work to do to undo a decade of disappointment at Old Trafford. He has had ringing endorsements <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bruno-fernandes-ringing-endorsement-ruben-amorim-incoming-man-utd-coach-arrival/blt55db7d51730bbf39" target="_blank">from his compatriot Bruno Fernandes</a> but he will have to start winning games quickly to turn the season and the faith of the United fans around. His work will begin on 11 November.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>United continue their path to redemption against PAOK in the Europa League on Thursday before they take relegation-threatened Leicester. Amorim's first game in charge will come after the international break against Ipswich.</p>
