Manchester United are bouncing back from a shaky start to the season, with the first two games of the season being defeats for the squad led by manager Erik ten Hag. The first matchday one against Brighton at Old Trafford 1-2, and the second away to Brentford 4-0.

From there they won four games in a row, including wins at home to Liverpool, and also visiting Arsenal at Emirates Stadium, two direct rivals in the championship chase. While on the international field they lost in the home debut against Real Sociedad of Spain in the Europa League 0-1, and the next match was a home win against Sheriff.
