Premier League
Six “shameful” statistics that confirm how problematic Manchester United are this year
Manchester United suffered another 2-0 defeat against West Ham and continues to post negative records.
Manchester United’s downward spiral shows no end. Erik Ten Hag’s side lost 2-0 to West Ham in London on Saturday, taking them to 13 defeats in all competitions. In short, this means she is having her worst start to the season this year since 1930!
“It is embarrassing for Manchester United to have the best attack in the league with 18 goals, only against bottom club Sheffield United who have 13. Erik Ten Hag said they had to stick to their plan, but I don’t understand that.” “A clear plan. “Something is definitely going terribly wrong,” former Newcastle superstar Alan Shearer told the BBC.
There were some timid smiles at Old Trafford after the 0-0 derby draw with Liverpool. However, the joy of the point at Anfield was short-lived as a clean sheet defeat to the Hammers followed. United saw West Ham overtake them in the standings and now sit in 8th place, 12 points behind leaders Arsenal and eight points behind fourth-placed Tottenham.
The “Red Devils” started the season with high hopes and expectations, but things are not going according to their expectations. A look at their stats confirms that this year’s United is one of the worst ever!
- They have lost 13 of their last 26 games in all competitions. In other words: He suffered as many defeats in 62 competitive games as last season.
- The 20 defeats they suffered in all competitions in 2023 is their worst performance in a calendar year since 1989, when they suffered another 20 defeats.
- He had experienced so many defeats before Christmas since 1930. This season he finished last in the first division.
- In 18 league games he only scored 18 goals, seven of which were without a single goal.

- For the first time since 1992, when they were coached by Sir Alex Ferguson, they failed to score in four competitive games in a row.
