The Red Devils have offered little to prevent their supporters from dozing off of late, but there is no longer any excuse for their players to be tired.
The 2016/17 campaign has hardly been thrill-a-minute for Manchester United supporters, with Jose Mourinho’s side doing little to set the pulse racing.
The Red Devils are the lowest scorers in the Premier League’s top eight, with free-scoring Manchester City and Liverpool having already registered 11 more goals through their opening 10 fixtures.
To make matters worse, United has gone three games since the club last netted in a top-flight fixture – with a goalless draw away at Anfield followed by a 4-0 drubbing at Chelsea and a 0-0 stalemate at home to Burnley.
