曼联惨败给科莫，暴露了俱乐部几乎所有问题。

There's no swagger synonymous with serial winners of the past. There's no fear factor from opponents. Como controlled the ball and the game, and were rarely put under pressure.

The team currently lacks confidence, chemistry and depth. No one devoid of blame, from the Glazers and Sir Jim Ratcliffe to Michael Carrick and the players.

Manchester United look passive, adapting to their opponents' styles instead of imposing their own identity.

In recent weeks, we have seen early goals conceded, needless errors, toothless attacking, and not enough work done on or off the ball.

Add to that, players speaking their minds. Lisandro Martinez called out Jason Wilcox before apologising, and Bruno Fernandes said tonight that more tactical bravery is needed.

The seven-game winless run has not only exposed a lack of business over the summer in key areas, but also tested Carrick's own ability to manage during a more congested calendar. Injuries haven't helped, but can't be used as an excuse.

The Manchester United boss is now under pressure, especially with several high-profile managers available, including Julian Nagelsmann and Antonio Conte.

No quick fix, and that includes changing manager. Yet history shows Manchester United managers tend to pay the price.

United sources have always insisted in recent weeks they want to back Carrick, but the same was said about Erik ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, who were both then fired weeks later.
