1. Manchester United have officially made their worst start to a Premier League season
2. The 1-1 draw with West Ham at Old Trafford on Sunday leaves United 11 behind leaders Chelsea with 20 points from 13 games
3. United last started a season so poorly in the old First Division in the 1989/90 season. Sir Alex Ferguson was manager as United ended the season in 13th position, five points clear of the relegation spots, but they did win the FA Cup

6. United have drawn four straight leagues at home for first time in 36 years
