Matic MotM for me, says it all about this game to be honest. No imagination, no desire and every person on the pitch could not control a ball to save them.

One of the worst games you'll see. We were awful, inconceivably bad. Those players each and every one of them bar Henderson are a disgrace for that.

He can’t have too many performances like that left. Desperate football and people make fun, but it’s as clear evidence as you need about lack of coaching in the training ground.

Absolutely nothing of note for 90 minutes. Really poor.

Dogshit. Getting sucked into a fight for top four when we were in such a strong position a few weeks ago.

We had no drive or desire in this game, with City unofficially crowned as champions we seem content with playing for a top 4 place.

So, so poor that was. All that talk from Ole about a score to settle and we produce that? I'm quite worried about the rest of this month before the international break. We've gone stale and are playing very poorly. Could get ugly at Citeh if we don't buck up our ideas. Pogba can't be back soon enough, cos some fresh impetus is sorely needed.

2 wins in 9 since we were top and played Liverpool at Anfield.

Absolutely embarrassing!

Dreadful performance, I don't even have an explanation, it was just so sloppy and lethargic from practicality every player, shocking stuff at this level.

Can't blame the referee for that. The excuses are drying up now.

I've said this a few times now but it looks we're setting up just to not be beaten. I'd rather we go for it and if we lose a few then so be it.

Deepthroating information to Howard Nurse.
By far the most worrying thing about that is how Solskjær can watch the performance rashford just put in and not haul him off. I don’t mind being off it. I do mind not be fecking arsed. Far too many at this club guaranteed a place no matter what utter dross they put in.

Abysmal football and another game I thoroughly regret watching. There's been a lot of that this season.

We're so lucky all the other teams have fallen to pieces, can still probably limp into the top four despite us having gone backwards from last season.

An improvement on losing 1-3 earlier in the season. Henderson looked good when needed. Apart from that, absolutely crap.

How anyone can look at performances like that and say that we're heading in the right direction is truly beyond me. All we are is a team that has a couple players capable of producing a moment of magic to get us a result, including arguably the most productive player in world football over the past year, and when this happens we go on purple patches that flatter us. If you actually watch what we put out on the field week by week, it's clear that our results aren't sustainable, and we aren't actually going anywhere meaningful at all.

Offensively, that second half is up there with the worst I've seen from us. Zero energy, zero will, zero passion, zero imagination, zero quality.

Rashford deserves dropping. Didn't do a single thing well today.æ and has been poor for quite a while.

Fred is such an average footballer. Poor passer and clumsy tackler, constantly giving away needless free-kicks.

Bruno is clearly jaded and should never have played again Sociedad. Mindless considering how tired he's looking. Should improve his attitude, though, can't be motivating for his teammates to see him throwing his arms around, looking like someone who's given up.

Ole once again way too passive on the sidelines. It feels like that could eventually be his undoing.

One positive: Henderson was very assertive in everything he did and it made our defence look much more solid.

Otherwise, wow, that was poor.

I think it's time to take a break from watching United. Complete waste of time and ruins my mood every single time. There's so much wrong with this team, I don't know where to begin. Good night.

Dogshit. Every one of them players coaches and especially the manager should donate their wages to charity this month. City will be licking their chops after this fiasco. Neville...the crowd the fog all the excuses again. Same for both sides.

Terrible. I actually turned off with five minutes left i was fed up. We could not string two passes together.

It has been poor all season really. We were getting flukey one nil wins against teams when we went on top of the table. Bruno was bailing us out big time.

I have been saying all season we are not coached to attack like City are. We rely on individual brilliance to score and then counter when the opposing team attacks.

Players look like they are not motivated either now.

This was as bad as anything under the three previous managers.

Just watch Guardiola school us on Sunday on how to play attacking football. We might sneak a draw but City will school us.

We need a kick up the ass.
Our constant sideways, safe passes seem to set the tempo for our performance, and that was further compounded by the performances of Greenwood and Rashford, who were not just terrible, but lazy too. Especially Rashford.

There were other poor performers out there (everyone except Shaw, Henderson and Wan Bissaka), but the laziness from Rashford is completely unacceptable.
