Manchester United One Point Away from Premier League Relegation Zone

Manchester United have dropped to within a single point of the relegation zone, falling to 16th in the Premier League table after a 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth at Old Trafford, the Red Devils’ home ground, in the eighth round of Premier League matches. The historic club suffered their third loss of the season, having won only one match and drawn four since the start of the league campaign, leaving them with seven points in 16th place, just one point above Nottingham Forest and Coventry City, who occupy 18th and 19th, respectively, the two relegation spots. The team’s results reflect a disastrous start for the storied club under manager Michael Carrick, who is expected to leave his managerial post as soon as possible.
