Manchester United fell to their worst start to a league season for 30 years on Monday night, as a 1-1 draw with Arsenal left them on nine points from their first seven matches. The last time United managed so few points to begin a campaign, Sir Alex Ferguson was still yet to win a trophy as manager and the team finished the season in 13th place.

Again, Wales' Daniel James played all 90 minutes and looked lively, earning an early free kick for which Calum Chambers was booked, but Scott McTominay's long-range effort proved to be United's only goal of the game, making it eight games in a row that the Red Devils have now failed to find the net for a second time.
