Overview
- The 1-1 draw at Leeds on Sunday extended Manchester United's streak to six competitive matches without a win and left manager Michael Carrick under fresh scrutiny.
- Lisandro Martínez, who publicly criticised the club and was fined, started the game but was substituted at half-time and several reports say United lost its shape after his removal.
- Bryan Mbeumo put United ahead in the 35th minute and Dominic Calvert-Lewin equalised in the 51st minute from a corner, leaving the Roses derby to finish level after a quiet second half.
- Brighton produced a dominant 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace, scoring three times inside the first ten minutes including Diego Gomez's long-range strike from near the halfway line.
- Bournemouth secured their first league win with a 2-0 result over Sunderland after Marcus Tavernier's early header and a 17th-minute red card for Kevin Danso, and United now face mounting pressure during an already difficult season that has been described as their weakest start since 1986.
