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

Conference League

FC Heidenheim

Chelsea

Europa League

Manchester United

Bodoe/Glimt

<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>
