Manchester United

They are closer in points to the bottom of the table than they are to the top

Bang on to be fair.

A job for big Sam!

You could give them 11 points and they'd still be outside the top 4. Pretty shocking position to be in. Got to hope they pick some points up or they'll get rid of agent whingebag too soon.

Liverpool are now 19 points ahead of United - their biggest ever lead over them after the first 17 games of an English top-flight season (based on relevant points for a win rules).

Liverpool have recorded their biggest Premier League victory over Manchester United at Anfield since also winning 3-1 in March 2011.

Manchester United have now conceded 29 goals in the Premier League this season, one more than they did in the entirety of the 2017-18 campaign and the most goals they've conceded at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1962-63.

Liverpool recorded 36 shots against Manchester United - the most the Red Devils have faced in a Premier League match since Opta started recording shot data in 2003-04.

Manchester United have picked up 26 points after their first 17 Premier League games, their worst points haul in the top-flight at this stage since 1990-91 (also 26 points).

Xherdan Shaqiri has become just the second Liverpool player to score at least two goals in their first ever match against Manchester United for the Reds, and the first since Nigel Clough did so back in January 1994.

Good news, their next five fixtures:

Cardiff (A)
Huddersfield (H)
Bournemouth (H)
Newcastle (A)
Reading (H FA Cup)

This may tempt the board to keep him as manager for a few weeks - prolongs the suffering of the fans over Christmas and New Year

I reckon they'll get 7 points out of that lot, he should be safe for now. Need him in charge during January so he can either waste more money or become even more gloomy if he's not trusted with any

Utd supporters will be rooting for us to get all three points on Friday night to keep them ahead of Wolves in the league.

I think he'll probably somehow survive until the end of the season. I really don't think they've got many decent options out there. Zidane seems to the only name their fans mention.

I they missed a good option in Emery.

This lot are ****e.

Yeah not much available right now, Zidane wouldn't be a good solution long term, someone like Favre might appeal to them, or Tuchel and of course Pochettino. Really hope Real Madrid go for him in summer, weaken Spurs and United must be thinking about him.

I've changed my mind on Zidane not being a good fit for them.

He has won trophies, as well as being a stellar, elite name in football. He has worked for Castilla, so he has experience of managing younger players. He's modest (although I was pissed off that he and the Real Madrid players never even mentioned us after the Champions League Final), so he could be a good match.

They would need to implement a new structure at the club, which I believe they're going to do. That includes a DOF to create a strategy that aligns the first team with the youth teams.
