Two wins, two draws and three defeats from seven matches. Here are the numbers behind United's start to the season, and the goals from the international break.
Manchester United go into October having played seven competitive games. This is a look at how the numbers stack up, using our own results data.
The record
Played 7: won 2, drawn 2, lost 3.
Goals: 14 scored, 11 conceded.
Wins: 5-2 against Ipswich (Premier League) and 4-0 against Sabah FA (Champions League).
Draws: 2-2 at Everton and 1-1 at Fulham.
Defeats: 2-0 at Hull City, 1-0 against Manchester City, and 3-2 against Brighton in the League Cup, which ended United's run in that competition.
Home and away
| P | W | D | L | GF | GA | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Home | 4 | 2 | 0 | 2 | 11 | 6 |
| Away | 3 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 3 | 5 |
United have yet to win away from Old Trafford this season, and both of their wins came in home games where they scored at least four goals.
Where that leaves them
In the Premier League, United are 12th on five points from five games (see the full table). In the Champions League they are fourth in the 36-team table with three points from one game.
Positives from the break
The Manchester Evening News reported that Bryan Mbeumo scored for Cameroon and Patrick Dorgu scored for Denmark during the international window, with Dorgu's goal described as a stunning strike from the right wing. Both have faced criticism this season, so the goals gave United some encouragement before Tottenham arrive at Old Trafford (our preview).
The figures above cover all competitions up to and including the Fulham game on 20 September.
