Cant wait for Ole's excuses to roll off the tongue...our players travelled, internls took their toll, players not yet fit...etc etc.

He can't hide behind the lack of squad depth and quality anymore,the only thing out of its depth is the whole coaching team.

There’s nothing new in this performance, it’s just a decent standard of opposition. This was even with DDG playing well. 4 goals conceded when we play cautious football is atrocious.

Tough set of fixtures coming up too, will Ole get enough out of the team to survive? we'll probably do just enough tbh.

Can’t wait for him to be sacked now. Don’t even want to watch us play at the moment, it’s that bad. A team of top class players that have not been made a team. That’s the manager’s job. Playing Maguire when he’s clearly not fit. Why give Bailly a new contract if you can’t trust him to play a game?

Felt like a team not playing for the manager.

Ole's luck is running out. His "amazing" record vs good sides is coming to a crashing end this season.

The end of a superb away record, but deservedly so - well beaten really. A defensive shambles; how do you let a team score straight from the kick off! That's schoolboy stuff. Maguire and Lindelof were terrible, and we lacked composure throughout the team. It's worrying right now.

Why did AWB make that challenge leading to the 4th? Why did AWB then try to backheel out the shot they scored the 4th from?
How the heck did Maguire screw up on that first goal? Why was he even playing in the first place?

Terrible performance and deserved nothing. We have world class players and a mid table championship team. Players don't seem to gel together and tactics seem to be nothing. We are looking for individual moments instead of working as a team.

We can have zero complaints, this has been coming all season. We were roundly beaten. Terrible defending all afternoon, no structure or shape in midfield, intermittent pressure on their goal at best. Very shakey when pressed. We still managed a couple of our usual excellent moments up front but you cannot build a team around that. Indeed, I didn't see a team out there at all, just a bunch of talented guys not knowing what to do.

Honestly, with the run we have coming up you cannot help but be incredibly concerned. We could be in serious trouble in a months time.

Also the end of the most underwhelming away record ever. It resulted in precisely feck all.

Shambles, knew this would be Ole’s last season but might end a lot quicker than I was expecting.

That was one of our worst performances under Ole. He just does not know how to get a tune out of this team. It's pathetic how weak we looked the entire game. At no point did I feel we'll win

Maguire on the last goal, just wow
Didn't know whether to laugh or cry at that. I'd be furious if it was done by one of our attacking players, but seeing that from our club captain and (presumably) first choice center back...

This game is the clearest example yet that coaching is an issue.

Cant blame it all on Maguire, even though he was poor.

Another bottling performance under ole.

Don't worry if we keep playing this bad we can go back to being the underdogs which will suit ole the bottler down to the ground.

Wide open in midfield again. Matic is as mobile as my dead gran. Pogba cannot play in a 2, how many times does this need to be said.

Maguire was a disgrace.

We are not a good enough team to accomodate Ronaldo being a statue upfront.

De Gea brilliant. Good for Rashford to score.

Well I won't be listening to him. The man talks such rubbish anyway.

Standard Man United performance from the last 3 years. Really, we got off lightly.

So I can stop caring about this season in mid October, nice. Same shit different year. We are just at a level where you have to expect to lose games like this more often than not.

I think Ole's time is up now isn't it? Really hope Zidane is up for the job.

Shocking defending and kept the ball poorly. Leicester weren't much better on those fronts but their forwards took their chances better.
