The Red Devils have won just two of their opening four Premier League fixtures
Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has spoken out following his side's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Sunday - and claimed everything went against his side.
Marcus Rashford put the Red Devils ahead in the 27th minute, only for Martin Odegaard to then level 35 seconds later.
United looked to have won the game late on through Alejandro Garnacho, only for the youngster to have his goal ruled out by VAR.
And Arsenal then picked up all three points in stoppage time after goals from Declan Rice and Gabriel Jesus.

Ten Hag was livid after the game, however.
And the United boss has complained about the decision to disallow Garnacho's goal - as well as claiming his side should have had a penalty for a foul on Rasmus Hojlund and that Jonny Evans was fouled before Rice's goal.
"The performance was alright from us," said the Dutchman.
"I thought we played a very good game but everything went against us - then you don't win the game.
"We needed a little bit more luck to win the game. It was not offside [for Alejandro Garnacho's goal]. It was the wrong angle.
"It was then a penalty on [Rasmus] Hojlund and then we concede a goal that's a foul on Jonny Evans.
"It's so clear and obvious.
"You can say you need to finish your chances and that you shouldn't concede a goal after going 1-0 up.
"This is all true, but I was happy with the performance."
United captain Bruno Fernandes also spoke out after the showdown in north London.
The Portugal international admits it's a tough loss to take - but insists the Red Devils will bounce back.
"It is always tough to lose the way we lost," he said.
"We conceded the late goal after trying to get the draw.
"They are a good team, they created a lot of problems for us.
"It was a good game for both teams but they got the points in the end.
"I felt the game was balanced.
"They had some spells on the ball but we wanted them to have that, we knew we could create the danger on the counters.
"It is what it is, if it is an offside we can't get on that.
"It was a good game, I am disappointed by the result, but the performance of the team, the passion was there.
"If we keep doing this consistently we will get results.

"It is 11 v 11, home or away doesn't change anything. "We had a really good game, it wasn't perfect as we didn't get the win but the spirit was right, the mentality, the desire, everyone doing the job the manager asked for.
"Sometimes the details change the game.
"It is not perfect to lose but I think we can take a lot of positives from this game."
