The last time they lost seven on the trot was during a run of 10 consecutive league defeats between September and December 1936.

However, there is some good news for manager Erik ten Hag should he lose today.

Including caretakers, none of the last seven managers to take charge of Manchester United have lost their first away league game in charge, winning four and drawing three.

The last manager to lose his first away game was Alex Ferguson in November 1986, a 2-0 defeat at Oxford.
