Manchester United's performance against Arsenal on Saturday was gutless and spineless.
It was the kind of performance that epitomised modern players who absolve themselves of any blame. And I can’t recall seeing a United team as bad since the mid-to-late Seventies, maybe going all the way back to 1974 when Denis Law’s goal for Manchester City relegated them.
I asked United supporters on social media over the weekend for their thoughts and plenty said it is the worst it has been since Dave Sexton was in charge until 1981. Others thought that was being unfair on Sexton’s team but, either way, that tells you what we’re watching.
