Manchester United recorded their worst start to a Premier League season in 40 years. According to Trivela, the 1-1 draw with Tottenham at Old Trafford leaves Michael Carrick's side with just six points after six rounds, their worst opening since 1986.

The Evening Standard reports that United fans booed the team off again after the last-gasp draw with 10-man Tottenham. The result has led to early calls for Carrick's dismissal, according to Sports Mole.

ESPN also notes that United were held by Spurs and fell to their worst start in four decades.
