The Story in 60 Seconds

Manchester United recorded their worst league start in nearly 40 years following a 1-1 draw against 10-man Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford. Bryan Mbeumo opened the scoring for United before Tottenham midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur received a red card for head-butting Luke Shaw. Despite holding a numerical advantage, manager Michael Carrick's side conceded a 92nd-minute equalizing header to Dominic Solanke, leaving United with only six points from six matches.
