Manchester United had never experienced the loss of three of its first five games at the beginning of a season in the Premier League era until now.
Under the stewardship of Erik Ten Hag the Red Devils have broken a couple of negative records.
This has definitely created an atmosphere of a potential crisis at Old Trafford, especially after the 3-1 defeat to Brighton.

Is United regressing?
Ten Hag’s appointment last season injected hope into Manchester United, which had witnessed a string of disappointing coaching selections following Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement.
He successfully secured the team’s first trophy in six years and appeared to elevate the off-field standards.
However, instead of building on this momentum in the current season and launching a title pursuit, there is a sense that the team is regressing.
Following Saturday’s dismal performance Ten Hag praised a few of his chargers.
While it’s true that they had a goal disallowed when Rashford took the ball out of play before passing to Hojlund, and the English forward struck the crossbar, if anything, they were let off easy.
