I did a post back after the Arsenal loss in Sept (can't find it - been looking), that was responding to someones post about the horrendous set of fixtures united have in December, and the likelyhood of them winning any of them, and the likelyhood of Ten hag being sacked/walking.
I replied that I thought they were going to be screwed in the next month+ (back in mid Sept starting with Brighton at home) and are unlikely to win many based on their fluking the Nottingham and Wolves results.
Brighton 1-3 L - Battered at home
Bayern 4-3 L - Battered but predictably
Burnley 0-1 W - Battered but won
Crystal Palace 3rd string 3-0 W - Win, but played 1st team against a 3rd string
Crystal Palace 1-0 L - Battered
Galatasary 2-3 L - Battered
