It is a bleak time to be a Manchester United fan and, unfortunately for the Red Devils, the stats don't lie.

After another comeback by Michael Carrick's side in the 4-4 draw against Aston Villa - Opta produced a series of stats which are a tough read for the club.

Due to the international break, Man Utd are now guaranteed to spend at least 15 consecutive days in the Premier League relegation zone. It is their longest run of days in the top-flight drop zone since a run across parts of September and October 1986 (28).

The days of witnessing a solid defence at Old Trafford seem a long time ago, but the 2026-27 campaign has seen United crumble under pressure in all competitions.

No side in Europe's big-five leagues have conceded more goals than United this season in all competitions (30).

One positive to take from the stats is that the players increased their work rate and covered 120.8km in the game against Villa, which is the biggest distance covered in a Premier League match under Carrick in 2026.
