Why Man Utd are set for more disappointment this weekend against Brentford as stats lay bare awful record
MANCHESTER UNITED could add to their dismal record after the international break when they host Brentford on Saturday.
Erik ten Hag is under huge pressure at Old Trafford following The Red Devils’ worst ever start to a Premier League campaign.
Eight points from seven games sees them languishing in 14th place in the table.
They are also without a win in two Europa League matches.
And the stats do not suggest things will begin to turn around this weekend.
According to sports betting site BetVictor, Man Utd have won just THREE of their last 10 games after the October international break stretching back to 2014.
That is the worst record of the so-called “Big Six” – and even below the likes of Newcastle and Aston Villa.
It is yet more damning news for Ten Hag – who faces an injury crisis ahead of the Brentford game.
Due to a host of defenders being unavailable, Jonny Evans could be set to start at left-back.
Noussair Mazrouai, Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia, Harry Maguire and Leny Yoro are all sidelined.

And new signing Manuel Ugarte has worried Man Utd fans by coming off during Uruguay’s goalless draw with Ecuador on Tuesday.

That came in Ten Hag’s first away game in the Premier League as his side were thrashed 4-0 in West London.
