Daniel Farke's side posted a 3-1 victory in their very next match against Newcastle United and unfortunately lost 3-2 to Chelsea on matchday 3.
However, since then, they have picked up just four points from a possible 21, with the 3-2 win over Manchester City followed by four consecutive defeats in all competitions - including a 1-0 defeat to League Two side Crawley Town in the League Cup - before drawing with Bournemouth in the Premier League.
They came into the matchday 10 fixture placed 19th on the log and while Manchester United might have struggled this season, they would have fancied their chances against a poor Norwich side and ultimately, they were good value for their victory.
