53 h. ago Manchester United seem to have accepted their mediocrity, but how long can it go on? | Jonathan Wilson

Ruben Amorim is not the biggest problem at Old Trafford, but it is becoming harder to deny he is one of the issuesPerhaps the best that can be said of Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United is that you know exactly where you stand with them. It’s 10 months since he was appointed but he is yet to win back-to-back league games. Having beaten Burnley last time out, amid scenes of revealing euphoria, they were never going to win at Manchester City.Which must have been a relief for City, who had lost two of their first three games this season for the first time in 21 years.
