Genuine question: (maybe one for @Falcao ?)

Mourinho's always had a reputation as being one of the best at setting his teams up defensively. Every team he has managed has always been tough to break down and his sides very rarely concede to often. Up until last season even that was very clear by just watching his sides.

But this season, United have been really shit at times defending as a team. Not always, but often enough and against all sorts of opposition. Pogba in particular has been brought up on several occasions for his poor defending, but he's not the only one doing it. De Gea has been bailing them out way more than ever this year.

The thing is, something doesn't add up. They were better defensively last year so you know something's changed. So what is it? Are his players just without discipline? Lazy? Tactically naive? Or are they just following orders and Mourinho's very deliberately set them out to be like this? Maybe he has and the tactics add up but he's got the wrong players to make it work (A bit like us last year).
 
Whatever happened to that Rashford kid that used to play for em?

Do you mean the one that's as good as Mbappe?
The one valued at 116m euros?
The one that was as good as Rooney at the same age?
England's star of the future?
The world beater who followed in the glorious footsteps of Macheda, Cleverly and Januzaj?

Well I'm afraid his position has been taken by a 29 year old who United have signed and who is being paid £600,000 per week.

Yeah that's the one lol.
 
If Chelsea fire onte and replace him with someone who isn't deliberately doing badly to try and get fired, this lot are in a lot of trouble. Spurs and Liverpool are right behind them and in much better form, if Chelsea stop being shit then they are in huge trouble of missing top 4
