Manchester United failed to win at Fulham this weekend, extending a winless start to the Premier League season and deepening concerns about the club\u2019s early form. Despite the additions of a new-look frontline, Ruben Amorim has not yet found a reliable winning formula since his appointment at Old Trafford. United remain intent on responding after last term\u2019s lowest-ever Premier League finish of 15th, but consistent results are still missing.<\/p>\n
Below are four statistics from the club\u2019s current run that explain why patience is thinning among supporters and observers.<\/p>\n
1. Leny Yoro\u2019s strange record<\/strong> 2. A worrying manager win rate<\/strong> 3. Points since April<\/strong> 4. Slow starts continue<\/strong> Those four facts explain why results and form remain the primary issues for the club as the season progresses. Finding a consistent approach will be essential if Manchester United are to change the narrative around Amorim\u2019s tenure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" United are still without a Premier League win after Fulham; four stats underline the worry.

Leny Yoro joined Manchester United from Lille in 2024. The French centre-back is regarded as a huge talent, but he has still not started in a win over a current Premier League team. Manchester United will hope it turns out similar to Gareth Bale\u2019s \u2018jinx\u2019 at Tottenham.<\/p>\n
Amorim has now won less than a quarter of his Premier League games. Incredibly, it\u2019s a win percentage matched by Neil Warnock, who has twice been relegated from the top tier.<\/p>\n
Manchester United have won fewer Premier League points, six in total, than Leicester City since April. The Foxes were relegated from the Premier League last season. No current top-flight team has won fewer points in that time.<\/p>\n
Slow beginnings to matches have not helped. United have now blanked in the first 45 minutes in 29 games since the start of last season.<\/p>\n
