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

4. Mourinho has been sent to the stands twice, the same number of times his side have won at Old Trafford so far in the league

6. United have drawn four straight leagues at home for first time in 36 years
7. Mourinho has lost three successive matches this season, the first time that happened since he was Porto manager in 2001/2002
