Manchester United's worst start in 40 years

According to Vnexpress.

Context

Manchester United is currently going through a difficult period under the guidance of coach Michael Carrick. The team needs to find a solution to improve the defense, having conceded 11 goals in 6 matches, and at the same time improve scoring efficiency to be able to compete better in the upcoming matches.

Why this is important

Manchester United's poor start in the Premier League not only affected team morale but also raised many questions about their ability to compete this season. With only 6 points after 6 rounds, the team is facing great pressure from fans and experts, especially when looking at their historical achievements over the past 40 years.

Main point

  • Manchester United's worst start in 40 years.
  • Manchester United experienced their worst start in 40 years in the Premier League, only gaining 6 points after 6 rounds, with a 1-1 draw against Tottenham.
  • Man Utd's worst start in 40 years.

In the confrontation in round 6 of the 2026-2027 Premier League, Manchester United had a bad start when they drew 1-1 with Tottenham, despite being outplayed. With only 6 points after 6 rounds, this is this team's worst performance in the national championship in the past 40 years.

What is worrying is that coach Michael Carrick and his team only won one victory, drew three and received two defeats, scoring 9 goals but also conceding 11 goals. After 6 matches, Man Utd only has 6 points, this is the worst start since the 1986-1987 season, when they only had 4 points after the first 6 rounds thanks to one win and one draw.

This season, Man Utd started with a 0-2 loss to Hull City, then had a 5-2 victory over Ipswich Town. However, this team continued to fail when meeting big opponents like Man City and drawing with lower teams like Fulham and Tottenham. The disappointment was clearly shown in the match against Tottenham when they opened the score in the 73rd minute thanks to Bryan Mbeumo's goal, but could not keep the advantage even though the opponent had to play with a few players due to Rodrigo Bentancur receiving a red card.

Former player Gary Neville expressed concern about Man Utd's current situation. He said that the team played without determination and did not show the necessary competitive spirit. In fact, Man Utd has not been able to win in all three recent matches in the Premier League when the opponent received a red card, which makes many people question this team's ability to take advantage.

The disappointment from the fans was also very clear when booing rang out from the audience at Old Trafford, and Neville said that this reaction was not only aimed at coach Carrick but also stemmed from the players' playing attitude. He emphasized that fans can accept defeat, but cannot endure a team that lacks desire and fighting spirit.

However, Neville still believes that Coach Carrick has not lost support from the fans, but he needs to find a timely solution for the team to escape the current situation. "Hopefully Man Utd can improve their performance in the near future," Neville concluded.
