Football's wheel of fortune spins quickly. Rewind six or seven weeks and Manchester United had the genuine look of title contenders, with everything coming together for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Now they're deep in turmoil, with that silverware challenge already dead, rivals outclassing them and Solskjaer fighting to save his job.
Paul Pogba has been United's collapse in microcosm. When the French midfielder contributed seven assists in United's first four games of the season, we wondered if he'd finally hit peak form.
Pogba told fans he is set for a scan in the coming days after injuring his right thigh, and he is on crutches (right) as he awaits further news on the issue
Since then, he's looked as lost and forlorn as everybody else in the team, allowing frustrations to consume him with that horrible two-footed lunge on Naby Keita to see red in Liverpool's 5-0 win at Old Trafford.
