Man Utd’s ‘miserable’ players expect to fail to win again this season as FA Cup humiliation beckons

The mood around the Manchester United camp is reportedly ‘miserable’, with the club’s players expecting not to win another game all season.

United have lost 13 Premier League games this season and are currently eighth in the table. If they stay there, it will be the worst finish in the Premier League era.

They also lost four out of six Champions League games and were knocked out of the League Cup – which they won last season – in the fourth round (their second leg).

From their last 10 league games, United have won just two, lost four and drawn four.

The most recent game was probably the worst performance of the season.

Indeed, the Red Devils were hammered 4-0 by 14th-placed Crystal Palace, with the Eagles doing their first double over the once-great Manchester side.

That opened some wounds – Jamie Carragher told Casemiro that has just three games left in the top flightalthough it is more likely to be four, bearing in mind that an FA Cup final will be played alongside three league matches.

But it seems there are internal stresses that will hold United back.

United’s players expect the season to sell out

Indeed, according to the Mirror, United’s “beleaguered players” fear they “may not win another game this season”.

Confidence is low and it is said that they feel their season is over.

The mood in the squad is said to be “miserable”.

And they know they have to face league leaders Arsenal, Newcastle and Brighton – the former two are above United in the league, while the Seagulls are seven points behind them.

If they don’t win again, qualification for any European competition could be massively in doubt.

But an FA Cup humiliation will be just as bad for United.

FA Cup humiliation looms

Indeed, the Red Devils reached the final of the competition for the second consecutive year.

Last season, local rivals City earned bragging rights over United, beating them en route to a treble.

The same could happen again this season, when they could clinch a double if they win the Premier League.

United have to play for their pride in that game against their local rivals – they can’t go back and accept their season is over before such a big game.
