WHAT HAPPENED?

United now sit 10th in the Premier League table, and are already six points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. They are also nine points behind Manchester City, despite their 2-1 defeat to Wolves on Saturday.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

In the 1989-90 season, under Sir Alex Ferguson's management, United had lost four games by the end of September, and they went on to finish 13th in the First Division. They did manage to win the FA Cup, however, beating Crystal Palace in the final.

DID YOU KNOW? 

United are next in action in midweek against Galatasaray in the Champions League, before returning to domestic action against Brentford next weekend.
