Manchester United are on their worst start to a league season for 48 years... and back then George Best was in disgrace, Bobby Charlton quit, Denis Law left for rivals City, and they failed to win any of their first NINE matches!

Manchester United's nightmare start to the season continued with their humiliation in Istanbul on Wednesday night in the Champions League, and last weekend in the Premier League saw them match an unwanted record from 48 years ago.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's second-half penalty ensured Arsenal took the points at Old Trafford and secured their first win at Old Trafford since 2006.

But the misery was heaped further on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men with the defeat meaning they have failed to win any of their opening four top-flight games at Old Trafford for the first time since 1972-73, following defeats to Crystal Palace and Tottenham and a goalless draw with Chelsea.
