It was a victory against Leeds on the opening day of the season that gave Manchester United hope to dream of a serious Premier League title challenge this season.
The sun was shining, Paul Pogba was purring in midfield, Bruno Fernandes netted his first professional hat-trick and United showed their class by announcing Raphael Varane on the pitch in front of a packed Old Trafford.
But, instead of setting the standard for what was to come in the weeks ahead, that 5-1 win remains the pinnacle of a campaign which slowly deteriorated and leaves United heading to Elland Road this weekend merely looking to keep their top-four dreams alive.
