Mourinho is turning Man Utd into a long ball team – and every fan should be embarrassed

United's main tactic during the draw with Everton was to lump aimless balls up to Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marouane Fellaini - a damning indictment

Never has a game summed up the current state of Manchester United than their 1-1 home draw with Everton on Tuesday which likely puts paid to their final hopes of finishing in the Premier League’s top four. And just when his players turned to Jose Mourinho for answers, all he seemed to have for them was more questions.

By the end even Mourinho would probably be unable to tell you quite what formation they were playing, and that was the perfect reflection of the haphazard, directionless state of this side right now.
