Manager Ruben Amorim remains steadfast in his philosophy, but it is increasingly difficult to see those principles bring the improvement that Manchester United fans are looking forward to.
The 2025-2026 season has only passed for more than a month, but the "Red Devils" have lost 2 out of 4 matches in the Premier League and were soon eliminated from the Carabao Cup by Grimsby Town. Their only win came at home against Burnley.
In their most recent start, Man United suffered a 0-3 defeat in the Manchester derby at the Etihad. Without having to share efforts for the Carabao Cup or the European Cup, Amorim and his students had a week to look back on their weaknesses.
The next challenge is hosting Chelsea at Old Trafford. The Blues drew 2-2 with Brentford in the Premier League last weekend, then lost 1-3 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Although they had a temporary chance to rise to the top if they defeated Brentford, coach Enzo Maresca's team currently has only 2 wins and 2 draws after 4 opening rounds.
A bright spot for The Blues is the return of Cole Palmer. The English star immediately left his mark, scoring the decisive goal just a few minutes after coming off the bench, thereby bringing Chelsea's total number of goals to 46.
Man United are maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last 12 home Premier League games against Chelsea (W5 D9), since a 0-1 defeat in May 2013.
In fact, Chelsea's 18% win rate at Old Trafford in Premier League history (6/33) is the lowest of any other team they have visited at least 10 times in this tournament.
