MANCHESTER, England (AP) — A tumultuous week for Manchester United ended with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea and the unwanted statistic that the club has made its worst league start for almost 40 years.
Moises Caicedo’s stunning long-range volley secured a point for Chelsea and left United on 12 points which Opta, the Premier League’s stats supplier, said was its lowest after 10 games since the 1986-87 season.
That was the year Alex Ferguson was hired and went on to lead the club to a period of unprecedented success, winning 13 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues.
United fans will have to hope that is a good omen after Erik ten Hag was fired this week and replaced by Ruben Amorim.
