When asked what's been going wrong for United up to now , former Utd right back Gary Neville replied : "People always want to know the definitive answer.
They want to know one thing but there's never one thing that's gone wrong when a team loses one match, let alone when they're on a poor run of form. Confidence is low.
I was at the game last Saturday against Newcastle and they almost drifted through the performance.
"I always think of United teams going down in a blaze of glory at the end, lots of chances, mayhem in the opposition box, goalkeepers going up but it just didn't seem to happen and at the moment they're lacking in belief. "It happened about 10 or 11 years ago. Some people might think that this would never have happened in the Sir Alex Ferguson era but it did.
There was a period around this time of year in, I think, about 2001/02 where we were mid-table and we were just dropping points, losing games and the confidence does go a little bit. But they've got to get it back quickly.
They're the same players who were champions last year so that belief, form and standard is in there but they've got to get it back because they're putting themselves under more pressure the more times that they drop points."
