This doesn’t answer the question but a big deal is being made of Man U’s struggles in the media (social and mainstream) so it’s easy to use them as a benchmark for “just how bad are we?” However, they’re not a good benchmark for that. Since the start of October, they’re the form team in the league having won every game except vs Man City. They’ve lost two games in the UCL that they shouldn’t be losing but that’s it (and Galatasaray are in splendid form right now anyway).
