Your support makes all the difference.The loss to Tottenham means Manchester United are now enduring their worst home league form for over a decade.
The 2-1 result, which was greeted with groans at the Theatre of Dreams, was Manchester United's fourth Premier League defeat at Old Trafford this season.
The last time the Old Trafford crowd witnessed more than three home league defeats in a single season was during the 2001-02 campaign - in which they lost a total of six.
In that season, Arsenal, Bolton, Chelsea, Liverpool, Middlesbrough and West Ham all left Old Trafford with three points. It was a campaign that ended with Arsenal at the top of the pile and Liverpool in second place ahead of United, who finished the season third.
New Manchester United manager David Moyes has now been left red faced by Spurs, Newcastle, Everton and West Brom. It's been suggested that the Old Trafford 'fear factor' has gone, and with games against great rivals Manchester City and Liverpool still to come, the number of home defeats could yet increase.
