Manchester United's historic nightmare! Carrick's team have become Europe's biggest goal-conceding machine
Manchester United are going through one of their toughest periods in years. The match against Aston Villa (4-4) was another blow for a team that continues to plummet down the league table.
According to Opta, the Red Devils have now conceded 30 goals in all competitions this season. That is the worst record of any club from Europe's five leading leagues. The team's defense looks so unreliable that opponents are regularly finding ways to breach their goal.
The situation in the Premier League is no less bleak. After ten rounds, Manchester United have just one league win to their name — a home victory over Ipswich back in August.
The result of such a disastrous start has been catastrophic: the team sit 18th in the table. Instead of battling for the top spots, Manchester United are now forced to focus on escaping the danger zone. For one of the world's most famous clubs, what is happening looks like a genuine nightmare.
