Man Utd are still stuck in a cycle of despair, they are never far away from a shellacking. The fact is the team still looks directionless in possession, and the last few results scraping results against poor sides have been driven by players Ten Hag tried to ship off in the summer. I thought they would be good with him in charge but the squad composition is incoherent. Whenever they try to implement positional play they get battered because they can’t do it, so they revert to counterattacking football, rinse reposed, they’ll probably beat City on Sunday and then lose 3-0 to Fulham.
Some absolute beatings are on the horizon for United if they don't sharpen up massively
Unless this “turning point” is actually a turning point and not just business as usual
