United are being undone by a combination of bad luck followed by catastrophic head-loss. Their actual play, structure and chance creation have all improved massively under Amorim. Just needs to sort their heads out (difficult) and wait for the luck to turn (inevitable). In time, it'll come good.

It's not just a lack of confidence, it's a mentality and attitude issue that's heavily influenced by the toxic culture at the club.
Individually there's talent, but the work ethic and in-game IQ is sorely lacking.
This isn't a coaching issue.
Changing personnel and managers isn't going to fix the rot that comes from the top.
We've been buying players who come in and wilt in this rotten environment because they adopt the toxic mentality already present at the club.
Manchester United ruins everyone.
Now we're paying the price.
United's bit of luck comes from good luck, like benefitting from City's collapse last weekend.
These players don't work hard enough to make any system work.
Ten Hag was praised for the system overhaul that got United winning, but it didn't last because these players don't care enough.
It comes from the top and seeps into the dressing room and onto the pitch.
It's a disease and it's gone untreated for a decade.
With the two monumental clangers?
