Yet another new dawn has bitten the dust...........

The hard facts are United have taken 19 points in their last 16 premier league games.

They won their last two games of last season against two teams (Brighton and Newcastle) who had hit the wall after a long season and who had nothing left in the tank.

If you ignore those last two games of last season then United have taken 13 points from their last 14 games.

That is relegation form.

It gets worse. 6 of those points came from home games against Sheff Utd (poss the worst PL team ever - but who managed to lead 0-1 and 1-2 before losing 4-2) and a miserable toothless Everton team.

This is all because United have got the worst midfield in the PL - they have no control of possession and will struggle to dominate any team this season.

There is no quick fix for this situation. If ETH stays then I reckon United will finish below halfway with well less than 50 points.

FWIW I think ETH will stay mainly because INEOS cannot sack him after backing him publicly with a huge transfer budget - sacking ETH would make INEOS look more clueless and incompetent than the previous regime, so they can't/won't do it.

Blowing my own trumpet here - posted this early September. Before the season started I put £30 on at 250/1 for them to be relegated.

I think ultimately it will be a loser (just) but I am getting a great run for my money.

I can't see them doing much in the January window - they haven't got much of a transfer budget and will struggle to raise money for a transfer kitty.

They will struggle to sell players because no-one will want to take them with the salaries they want. Conversely, selling clubs can ask for inflated prices for players because they know United are desperate.

Add to that, who in their right mind would want to move to United given their current state.

INEOS are clowns, for the last few years everything they touch turns to shit.

United were shit already, they didn't need to touch it.
 
“Juventus have turned down the chance to sign Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford, 27, but are instead keen on his fellow Red Devils striker Joshua Zirkzee, 23, who is a Netherlands international. (Sun)”

Don’t know what’s funnier: Juve telling Rashford to Fek off or thinking Zirkzee is any better?
 
Odds on new manager before the end of the season? The will get no points in the next three games by which time they could be behind Everton and Palace.
