MANCHESTER UNITED have hit a new low.

The Red Devils find themselves in the relegation zone ahead of the international break, with just eight points from their opening 10 games.

They have managed just one Premier League win this term – against Ipswich Town at the end of August.

And now they find themselves in the worst position they have been in since legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson left in 2013.

United had not found themselves as low as 18th and with as little as eight points after 10 games in the Premier League until this campaign.

This time last year under Ruben Amorim they were eighth after the opening 10 games with 17 points – nine more than they have now.

However, before that, during the 2024-25 season, they were 13th with 12 points.

That total followed a challenging start to the campaign for ex-boss Erik ten Hag – who was axed and replaced by Amorim as a result.

Across the last 14 seasons, United’s average league position after the opening 10 games has been eighth.

They have found themselves in that position five times, including after David Moyes‘ first 10 games when he succeeded Fergie.

Their best league position and points total after the opening 10 fixtures came in the 2017-18 campaign under Jose Mourinho, when they found themselves second with 23 points.

They went on to finish second that season, behind Manchester City.

United’s current points total and position has meant that Michael Carrick finds himself under increasing pressure.

Two comebacks last week against Roma and Aston Villa may have kept him in the job for now, but the Red Devils face a difficult trip to Anfield, where they will face Liverpool after the international break.

And if results don’t go their way, they could drop even further.
