Manchester United's 1-1 draw with 10-man Tottenham on Saturday condemned the club to its worst start to a season in 40 years, with just six points from six games — the lowest tally since 1986. Michael Carrick admitted the boos from the Old Trafford crowd "hurt a lot" but acknowledged they come "from a good place." United led through Bryan Mbeumo and held a numerical advantage after Rodrigo Bentancur was sent off for a headbutt on Luke Shaw, yet conceded a 92nd-minute equalizer to Dominic Solanke. It marks the second time this season United have dropped points via a stoppage-time goal and the second time they've failed to beat a 10-man side after losing to Manchester City last month. Carrick stressed the need to improve game management: "If we're ahead in the game we've got to see games out."
