Manchester United slip to brink of relegation zone after Coventry win
Twenty-time English champions endure worst start to a league season in 40 years as pressure mounts on manager Michael Carrick
Manchester United were pushed closer to the Premier League relegation zone on Saturday after a 2-0 defeat at Chelsea was followed by Coventry City's 3-1 victory over Sunderland, leaving the fallen giants just one point and one place above the bottom three. The Red Devils have now gone nine league matches without a win, their worst run since 1986, and have won only twice in 13 games across all competitions this season.
