This past week was a rollercoaster for Manchester United, culminating in a 1-1 stalemate with Chelsea and the grim announcement that the club has experienced its worst league beginning in nearly four decades. Moises Caicedo’s sensational long-range volley salvaged a point for Chelsea, leaving United stranded on a mere 12 points — the lowest tally after ten games since the infamous 1986-87 season, according to Opta, the Premier League’s data supplier.
