Two weeks of international football has allowed Ole Gunnar Solskjaer more than enough time to dissect his team's horror show defeat to Tottenham.
That 6-1 drubbing at Old Trafford not only emphasised problems at Manchester United we already knew about but a load more as well.

Now he needs that more than ever. After Saturday night's visit to Newcastle United - the scene of arguably their most lacklustre performance last season - a daunting run of games awaits.
