Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United, on Saturday, etched their names into the history books of the club, for altogether unwanted reasons.
United, of course, marked their return to action a short time ago.
Fresh off a 3-0 drubbing of Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup in midweek, the Red Devils played host to Roy Hodgson and co. once more, on this occasion in the Premier League.
When all was said and done, though, on this occasion, the outcome proved considerably less positive for the day’s hosts.
This came as a solitary first-half goal on the part of Joachim Andersen proved enough to guide Palace to the right side of a shock 1-0 result.
Man United’s latest defeat caps what has proven a hugely underwhelming opening to the campaign for all on the red half of Manchester.
In fact, so poor has it been, that, as alluded to above, Ten Hag’s men have managed to make history.
As revealed by statistician Statman Dave:
‘Manchester United have lost 4 of their first 7 Premier League games for the first time in their history.’
