They just seem to limp from one crisis to the next. The fans are baying for Louis van Gaal’s blood and the players seem to have lost heart.
In October, United were top of the Premier League table. 11 games later and the Red Devils have fallen to sixth.
United are at their lowest ebb after losing four games in a row in all competitions which equals the unwanted record of the 1961 side, and they ended up finishing 15th in the old first division that season.
It seems to be a futile exercise trying to compare the current crop of United players to the sides of yesteryear under Sir Alex Ferguson.
Philosophy is an overused word in football, but Van Gaal’s has no doubt failed.
