Manchester United have now gone 3 games without a win at Old Trafford. Also, United have failed to win 2 successive games after taking the lead. They should have killed the game off in the first quarter of the 90 minutes. They didn't and there was hell to pay.

Defenders were switching off- the red card incident is a perfect example. Matic was trying too hard to wriggle out into space and got caught with the ball on a number of occasions. Martial's build-up play was excellent while his finishing was often casual.

Lukaku needs to bury the chances he gets as though his life depends on it. Manchester United need to wake up and make the best of every single minute of the 90 if they're to even dream of having a half decent season this time around.
