Manchester United players still cannot bring themselves to talk about their worst season in Premier League history.
United ended last season in sixth place with 58 points, their worst total of the Premier League era, as the fallen giants hit their lowest point since Sir Alex Ferguson retired. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was sacked and interim boss Ralf Rangnick won just 11 of his 28 games in charge as the Red Devils became a laughing stock in world football.
Erik ten Hag has been brought in to resurrect United, with midfielder Scott McTominay admitting last season's nadir is still too painful for the players to discuss with each other. But McTominay, speaking on United's pre-season tour of Australia, said players must use last season's misery as motivation to ensure they never find themselves at such a low ebb again.
