Out of control, not good enough, clumsy. These were the terms thrown around by an increasingly disenchanted set of Manchester United players who have suffered through the club’s joint-worst start to a new Premier League season.
The last time United collected just four points from as many games was back in 1992, when Sir Alex Ferguson was at the helm of a side which was still reeling from a late collapse in the previous campaign’s title race. Rather than lamenting a second-place slump, United’s modern iteration are trying—and largely failing—to improve upon last term’s 15th finish.
