Man United continue worst start to Premier League season – but omen may get fans excited ahead of Amorim arrival
Manchester United have continued their worst ever start to a Premier League season with 12 points from their opening ten matches.
But despite a limp 1-1 draw at home to Chelsea, there is an omen which fans will give fans some comfort ahead of Ruben Amorim's arrival.
Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Rasmus Hojlund was fouled by Blues goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, only for Moises Caicedo to equalise for the visitors four minutes later.
The result leaves United 13th in the table, with just 12 points from their first ten matches.
Meanwhile, their total of nine goals is their fewest at this stage of a league campaign since 1973/74, a season which saw them got relegated from the old First Division.
This is their worst start to a league campaign since 1986 when they collected just eight points across the same period.
Ron Atkinson was sacked in November of that season, though, with the club sitting 19th in the top flight.
He was replaced by none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, who guided United to a 19th place finish.
Although the Red Devils failed to win a trophy that season, Ferguson would go on to become their greatest ever manager.
