Top 10 Unwanted Records Man United Have Broken This Season After Disastrous Form Under ten Hag

Manchester United have broken several unwanted records this season after a poor start to the campaign under Erik ten Hag.

The Red Devils went into the 2022/23 season off a fantastic run that saw them end the season with silverware in the shape of the Carabao Cup.

United further secured a UEFA Champions League spot after an encouraging third-place finish behind Arsenal and Manchester City, who were crowned champions.

However, the Old Trafford dwellers have struggled for form and results since the start of the new season, with their struggles coming in the Premier League and the Champions League.

United have suffered four defeats in the EPL in seven outings, managing just nine points in the process.

Ten Hag's latest setback came on Tuesday night when his team was humbled 2-3 by Galatasaray in their second Group A match of the Champions League.

According to The Guardian, the Turkish side mounted a resilient performance to sink the Red Devils, rendering Rasmus Hojlund's brace a mere consolation.
