There is something magical about Manchester United, their ability to stay in the game and win it in the last minute as well as their ability to be the ultimate comeback kings. There is something about team culture that affects player morale and goes on to influence game results. With United suffering all these losses, there is no denying that the negative results have had an effect on the players' morale.

After the comeback victory over Newcastle and the applaudable 2-2 draw with Chelsea, the upbeat nature seemed to be coming back to Old Trafford but the home defeat to the Bianconeri is sure to dent the players' morale.
