Manchester United Officially Make Worst Start to a Premier League Season in Club History

Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal left their with nine points from their first seven games of the season, which is their worst ever return at this stage in a Premier League campaign.

Despite a 4-0 win over Chelsea on opening weekend, United have won just once since and Monday's bitterly underwhelming draw with Arsenal only compounded just how big the problems are at Old Trafford.

As noted by Opta, that return of nine points is not only their worst in the Premier League era, but it's actually their worst start to a season since the ill-fated 1989/90 campaign, in which United picked up seven points from their opening seven games.
