Man Utd's next seven games as Michael Carrick faces defining period after horror start

Manchester United have continued to find ways to outdo themselves when it comes to slow starts, but this term Michael Carrick has presided over the club's worst beginning to a campaign since 1986. It has been 40 years since United sat with six points from six games - that coming courtesy of just one win against newly promoted Ipswich Town. Tottenham's late equaliser on Saturday night denied United another win as they struggle to hold onto leads.
