Manchester United Drop Into Premier League Relegation Zone
Manchester United slip into the Premier League bottom three after the derby defeat to City, a first in the club's PL history after nine or more games played.
Manchester United's troubles have reached a new low. Following defeat to Manchester City in the derby, the Red Devils have fallen into the bottom three of the Premier League table and now sit in the relegation zone.
An unwanted Premier League first
Never before in the Premier League era have Manchester United been in the bottom three after at least nine matches had been played. For the club with the most Premier League titles, it is a startling position and one few supporters would have imagined.
To find a comparable situation, you have to go back to November 1986. At that point, United were 21st in England's top flight after 15 games. That same month marked the beginning of Sir Alex Ferguson's reign at Old Trafford.
Pressure mounts at Old Trafford
Sliding into the drop zone after losing to their city rivals only intensifies the scrutiny on the players and coaching staff. United now need to collect points quickly in the coming weeks to climb away from danger before the situation becomes even more serious.
