The Shocking Stat That Highlights United’s Problems
Manchester United have not started the season well. No matter the circumstances, any time that Manchester United are not in the conversation to win a league title is disastrous. However, this damning statistic shows just how bad things are at Old Trafford.
Manchester United’s only goal from open play this season at home was scored by Donny van de Beek on the opening day...
The Red Devil’s home form has been some cause for great concern since the opening day defeat to Crystal Palace. Saturday’s win against West Brom saw United pick up their first three points at home since early July. Despite wrapping up the win, a Bruno Fernandes penalty came to save the day after a dismal performance once again.

However, with other sides like Aston Villa who put 7 past Liverpool seeming to manage, you’d hope that a club with of the stature of Manchester United can cope just fine.

The Dutchman is yet to start for Manchester United in the Premier League despite positive cameos off the bench. Perhaps the stat is a hint at who ought to be starting games…
Hopefully with the win yesterday, however scrappy, the reds can begin to build some sort of momentum at Old Trafford.
