Five points in five games, Manchester United make worst league start since 2014-15 | OneFootball

Manchester United have made their worst Premier League start since 2014-15 after a 1-1 draw at Fulham on Sunday, days after a 2-3 League Cup exit to Brighton.

United snatched a point at the end of normal time despite a glut of chances, registering 29 shots. L'Équipe notes they are 12th with five points and one win from five matches.

It mirrors the opening five-game return under Louis Van Gaal with Angel Di Maria and Radamel Falcao, when they also managed one win, two draws and two defeats. A 3-5 loss at Leicester, then fighting to stay up, stood out.

Last season, Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United were 11th with seven points after five games.

Despite the stuttering start, Michael Carrick urged perspective, saying the season is still long.
