Comments:
League position: 16th This equalled Manchester United's biggest-ever defeat in the Premier League; also against Manchester City at Old Trafford on 23 October 2011. United had now lost their opening two home games of a league season for the fifth time, and first since 1986-87 in League Division One. The Red Devils conceded four or more goals in the first half of a game in the top division for the first time since their visit to Nottingham Forest in League Division One on 2 May 1990 (lost 0-4). Timed at one minute and 37 seconds, Bruno Fernandes scored the earliest penalty in a game in the Premier League since Sergio Agüero for Manchester City against Newcastle United on 21 February 2015 (one minute, 12 seconds).6 Tottenham Hotspur
