Manchester United's players struck a glum mood on Tuesday morning as they arrived at the club's Carrington training base to step up their preparations for Thursday's clash with Chelsea.
United were beaten 3-1 by Arsenal on Saturday, all but ending their chances of finishing in the top four and qualifying for next season's Champions League.
That result came after a 4-0 humbling by fierce rivals Liverpool at Anfield last week but the fixture list isn't getting any easier for Ralf Rangnick's men, who have won just once in their last six games in all competitions.
