Another defeat to blame on the Glazers
Man Utd fans up and down the country will no doubt be calling out their owners and blaming them for all that is wrong at Old Trafford about now.
You have to question so much more than that realistically.
Since their tenure, Man Utd have one the highest transfer spends in European football.
They are not getting it right and it seems to be a revolving door of players who are just not a good fit for the club.
Manager after manager comes in and cannot get the club back to where it wants to be.
In modern football, no club has a divine right to success but given the history of Man Utd, this will be a bitter pill to swallow.
Pressure mounts on United manager
Erik ten Hag will be left wondering whether he is on a sinking ship in Manchester with no land in sight.
Every week he convinces the media, and himself, that they will turn it around.
The future looks bleak for the manager, judging by performances, you have to wonder whether he has lost the dressing room.
Man Utd fans would be more than entitled to question whether many of these players are even fit to wear the shirt, let alone receive over-inflated wages.

It is a ground they have only won at three times in their club’s history.
Eddie Howe made eight changes to the side that played in the Premier League at the weekend.
Despite this, his side were well worth their victory and could have scored more.
They head into the quarter-final draw and after beating both Man City and Man Utd in the Carabao Cup, they will not fear anyone.
By the final whistle, the home end was so empty it looked like the ground did during the pandemic.
