Manchester United have broken an unwanted record on Saturday (December 7).
The Red Devils slipped back into their old ways as Nottingham Forest netted three at Old Trafford to claim all three points on a windy Manchester evening. The defeat leaves Ruben Amorim’s side 13th, with 19 points to their name after 15 games.
It’s the lowest position the Red Devils have ever been in the top flight after 15 games since the 1986/87 season. United eventually finished 11th that season – a certain Sir Alex Ferguson was hired in November to try and turn the season around.

Amorim has been brought in by INEOS and Co to try and turn around the Red Devils’ season after Erik ten Hag’s spell came to an end. However, it hasn’t been the dream start for Amorim, who have won just one of his first four Premier League games.
There was a bore draw with Ipswich followed by an emphatic win against Everton, but they have been followed by back-to-back defeats against Arsenal and Forest.

Speaking ahead of the game, Amorim admitted United are a club in crisis: “That is very clear,” he said. “We are a massive club but we are not a massive team. We know it, so there is no problem to say it.”
“We’re not one of the best teams in the league,” he added. “We have to say and think that clearly.
“But [in] our past, our club is maybe the best one in the league. So here we have a problem. We have to focus on the little details, then we will improve as a team.”
