Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho would have been hoping for more than just five Premier League wins from his opening 13 matches in charge of the club.

The Red Devils have struggled for consistency in the league this season – this all after winning their first three matches – and have won just two of their last ten league games.

Their 1-1 draw at home to West Ham on Sunday was their fourth successive draw at Old Trafford in the Premier League, with Stoke, Burnley, and Arsenal all leaving the North West with a share of the spoils.
