The players are not motivated. Wonder whose job it is to motivate them.
Has this been the worst 2 months in the last 10 years for United?

Definitely the manager. ETH has been slipping in this regard of late.
It may well be. For me, there have been 3 absolute capitulations in recent years: the end of 2018-19; last season under Rangnick, and this current stretch. Given that each has involved a different manager, it’s tempting to look at which players have been involved in all 3: De Gea, Shaw, Lindelof, McTominay, Fred, and Rashford. Maybe it’s time to recognize a pattern.
It's only going to get worse!
Plus we have city to play in the cup final

The end of 2018-2019 season, right at the end of Ole's temporary stint.
Simple. We tried to replace SAF with David Moyes.
Woodward is the common strain - 4 managers, similar poor results - one executive overseeing it all. He leaves and suddenly the club is looking like its building something again.
And he fecked up the Klopp interview. The football gods even gave him a chance, no matter how undeserved.
Bump. Possible been the worst 8 months of the last 10 years.
It is almost as though we won the league cup and the club collectively decided to put their feet up and light up a cigar ever since. Baffling collapse.
You know I was just thinking we don’t have enough negative threads on here so I’m really glad you bumped this. Fair play.
Nothing stopping you creating a positive thread to balance it out
Given what us armchair fans think about many of our players, I would not be surprised
Why do we keep saying last 10 years? Before that it was Sir Alex...
Before that it was Atkinson and we had Robbo, Whiteside, Hughes, Strachen and others.. We won the odd cup but the play was far from dull - very enjoyable in fact.
Before that it was Sexton who i can just about remember but that was end to end too
So i really don't know how far back you have to go to find United playing football worse than they've played this season. Maybe when we were relegated in the mid 70s.
Surely you would prefer a perch?
More proof that this isn't just a bad patch or this seasons problem
We really haven't recovered emotionally or psychologically from that 0-7 stuffing we got from the scousers... we haven't been the same since on and off the pitch
I certainly felt less optimistic during Ole's last couple of months, Louis's dark December, Moyes' whole reign, and when the Greenwood situation happened at the end of January in which Rangnick got feck all in the market to amend his snake squad. At least we can assume the sporting structure will be modernised soon. I guess it depends on where you are on the spectrum of thinking ETH is a charlatan or that he's a top manager in the making facing his biggest challenge.
The amount of knee jerk reactions genuinely is staggering, I honestly wonder if half the people that post on here have even followed United for the last 10 years.
