This Manchester United side need a metaphorical slap in the face before they start to play.
Conceding provokes a real response from their players. Against Atalanta in the Champions League on Wednesday, they were 2-0 down after a miserable first half but won 3-2 after an inspired second half.
Remarkably, they have come from behind to win 15 games since the start of last season. Comebacks make for great entertainment, as do last-minute winners, but Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s United need to control games.
To be successful they’ve got to get more from Bruno Fernandes and their wide men, who don’t do enough defensively.
