Fantastic 4 from Chelsea, Mou’s Man United flops: What’s hot what’s not in the Premier League

NOT: Manchester United

By contrast, Mourinho’s anticipated return to the club that sacked him last December concluded in a thrashing – his biggest ever defeat as a Premier League manager.

The 53-year-old could only watch on as his new-look Manchester United side endured a nightmare autumnal afternoon.
After opening the campaign with a 100% record in their first three games, United have collected just the solitary league win since the Manchester derby defeat on home soil back in September.

Due to the loss of league form in what is a major transitional period, the men from Old Trafford have subsequently dropped down to seventh, and are six-points off the top.

Back-to-back home games await Mourinho’s Red Devils next week, an EFL Cup tie with neighbours Manchester City on Wednesday, before buoyant Burnley are the visitors in the league on Saturday.
