Van Gaal overseeing WORST Man Utd season start in Premier League history

Louis van Gaal is overseeing Manchester United's WORST season start in the history of the Premier League.

Never before since the Premier League's formation have United taken so few points from their opening five matches, and not since the first Premier League season in 1992-93 have they been so low in the table.

Defeat at Leicester City was the first time in 30 years United have lost in any competition having led by two goals, a 3-2 league defeat away at Nottingham Forest in December 1984.

It was also the first time United have let in four or more goals to a promoted side in the Premier League.
