It seems that it’s a big week for questions in this column, so I have another for you. At this exact date last season, how many points did Manchester United have?
Answer is; two more than they have right now. And they were in virtually the same position in the table too - fifth not fourth, but only two points off a Champions League spot.
The point is, we have all been a bit blindsided by the ‘improvement’ under Erik ten Hag this season. But they really are not that much better off than they were under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
