Manchester United have made their worst league start since 1986. The club have collected only six points from the first six matches of the 2026-2027 season, their poorest opening to a Premier League campaign since 1986-1987.
Their only win has come against Ipswich Town, recently promoted to the Premier League. In their latest match, Manchester United drew 1-1 with Tottenham at Old Trafford. Dominic Solanke scored a late goal for the visiting side.
Manchester United are thirteenth in the table. Some supporters voiced their displeasure after the final whistle, underlining the frustration surrounding this start to the season.
The club’s difficult opening in the 1986-1987 season was followed by Ron Atkinson’s dismissal. Sir Alex Ferguson then took charge of the team. That historical comparison illustrates the scale of the current poor start, without determining what will follow over the rest of the season.
