Manchester United had to accept the worst beginning in the EPL this season in the last 40 years after the team wrapped up with a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. United is with just 12 points—its lowest tally after the first 10 matches since the 1986-87 season. 

That season was significant, as it marked the arrival of Alex Ferguson, who would guide the club to an era of remarkable success, claiming 13 Premier League titles and two Champions League trophies. 

Fans will be hoping this serves as a good omen following Erik ten Hag's dismissal and the hiring of Ruben Amorim.

United captain Bruno Fernandes commented, “When a manager is let go, some responsibility falls on the players because the team isn't performing well. I spoke to Ten Hag to express my disappointment and apologized.” 

Fernandes had initially put United ahead with a penalty in the 70th minute during the match against Chelsea, as interim head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy aimed to secure consecutive victories after defeating Leicester 5-2 in the League Cup. However, Caicedo equalized just four minutes later, ensuring the points were shared, much to the dismay of the watching Olivia Rodrigo.
