I think United have looked terrible in some wins this seasons like vs Wolves, Brenfort, Forrest which were all comebacks of some sort. But the media's really trying to bury ETH, I swear if Onana didn't make those mistakes in the UCL games no one would even mention Ten Hag out right now.

That being said Ten Hag out should be back pretty quickly if they lose to Liverpool and maybe the game after.

There's no getting away from their Champions League performance being terrible, but I think a lot of the press were ready for ETH to be sacked in October and are now trying to wish it into being. It's really close at the top end of the table - ten points covers 1st to 7th, last season by week 15 that would only have covered 1st to 4th.

It feels a bit like Bournemouth sacking O'Neil at the end of last season, you want to ask the people responsible what they thought the results were supposed to be because it looks a bit crazy otherwise.

if it makes United fans feel a little better about their team showing complacency after a decent result: City won the treble last season and are now suffering a run of 4 league games without a win; Liverpool won a game 7-0 last season and then lost to Bournemouth a week later 1-0. It happens. Hope that cheers you up a little.

Premier League Player of the Month Harry Maguire is starting over him, not Shaw. Shaw is starting over Lindelof/Evans and would be on the left if Martinez was fit

The only time I've watched Amrabat was at the World Cup where he looked genuinely class, was that a James Rodriguez situation where he just played well above himself for 7 games.

Amrabat was important for Fiorentina's possession style, but he also got overrated and people projected attributes onto him that he doesn't possess. He's basically just a Jorginho sideways passer that kicks people a little bit more.

A no quotes article in the Guardian claims Man U want to sell a long list of players: Casemiro, Varane, Sancho, Martial, and Van de Beek, because United need to sell before they can buy now due to FFP. It also notes that selling most of these players will be problematic because they either make huge money or are old or both. And Martial's contract is up this summer so he doesn't have much incentive to leave in January when he could probably get a bigger contract signing somewhere on a free.
