Manchester United continues its disastrous start to the season. With only one victory in seven Premier League days, four draws and two defeats, the Red Devils have their worst record at this stage of a first division season since the 1986-1987 financial year. At the time, the Mancunian club had also won only one match after seven days. The new draw conceded against Leeds (1-1) therefore does nothing to help the situation of a club still in difficulty.
In this context, Michael Carrick’s position is increasingly weakened. Manchester United’s disappointing results and lack of consistency fuel questions about the technician’s ability to turn things around. The pressure is increasing on the Mancunian bench, while management expects a rapid reaction to prevent this bad dynamic from further compromising the season.
