Manchester United players did not need to consult their media representatives or analyse 'fan sentiment graphs' to know the mood would be low after their latest defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League.
A week in which United had the chance to revive their dismal season instead confirmed the mess Ralf Rangnick's side are in, with a humiliating loss at Anfield followed up by another damaging defeat in their weak fight for a top-four finish.
In a weird way, the loss on Tuesday night was a bit more understandable. Liverpool are one of the best sides in Europe and are chasing an almighty quadruple. It's hard to remember a time in recent history when the gulf between the two teams was quite so big.
