David Moyes broke yet another unwanted record on Saturday as Manchester United's defeat by Stoke was the first against the Potters since 1984. The loss was United's eighth of the season so far and former Everton boss Moyes will be desperate to avoid 'achieving' any more embarrassing feats. Sportsmail looks ahead to the rest of the season to see which other unwanted records could await the Scot.

How many more unwanted records will Moyes break this season?

Manchester United have already lost eight games this season in the Premier League. The most they have lost in a whole Premier League season is nine in the 2001-02 and 2003-04 seasons, finishing third on both occasions.

Moyes' side have lost four home games in the league season. Should United lose three more at Old Trafford they will beat their previous Premier League record of six home defeats achieved in 2001-02.

Last season, under the stewardship of Sir Alex Ferguson, United achieved their best ever points total after 24 games - this season is their worst at the same stage.

Champion: Former manager Sir Alex Ferguson guided Manchester United to 13 Premier League titles

Last time United lost 10 games in a season was in 1990-91 when they finished the campaign in sixth place.

The club's record number of defeats in a 38-game season is 16 in the 1989-90 campaign. United finished 13th that year, which was Ferguson's third full season in charge at OId Trafford.

They have lost three games in a row this season (against Spurs, Swansea and Sunderland), for the first time since 2001. The last time United lost four games in a row came in 1961 following defeats by Birmingham, Arsenal, Bolton and Sheffield Wednesday - the club have never lost five games on the bounce.

United need to win nine of their remaining 14 matches to merely equal the club's lowest ever Premier League wins total of 21, achieved in 1996-97.

Should David Moyes's side concede another 17 goals between now and the end of the season, the club will have broken the record for the most amount of goals let in in one Premier League campaign, having shipped 45 in 1999-00 and 2001-02.

Rooney, RVP and Co must score another 20 goals to beat the club's record of fewest goals scored in a Premier League season, having found the net just 58 times in the 2004-05 season.

United's FA Cup defeat by Swansea on January 5 - the first ever time the Swans had won at Old Trafford - was just the second time in 29 years that the Red Devils had been eliminated in the third round.
