Only themselves to blame – Misfiring Manchester United punished in tale of two keepers
Consecutive losses to first Manchester City and then Watford in September had seen the team fall off the pace, though Jose Mourinho’s men responded in style by trashing Leciester City 4-1.
However, it appears the Portuguese has not come up with an answer to the see-saw form just yet, as Stoke fought back to secure a 1-1 result at Old Trafford, with Joe Allen cancelling out Anthony Martial’s stunning opener.
United’s current point tally places the side three behind the much-maligned Van Gaal team last term – a disappointing return given the world-record arrival of Paul Pogba in the summer.
