Manchester United slumped to their fifth league defeat of the season against Watford last weekend, once again demonstrating their abysmal away form through another lacklustre display.
It seems to be one step forward and two steps back for the team this season, beating Man City one week to then lose to the team which was bottom prior to kick off.

Eric Cantona has had his say on the current crop of United players and the team as a whole, and made a comparison which doesn’t reflect too well on the team, though it has humoured some fans.
He did, however, state that as such a big club the Red Devils will be back to their best at some point, though it is clear from the first half of the season that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has his work cut out to make that happen.
Here is some of the fan reaction loving Cantona’s latest extraordinary analogy.
The Frenchman is no stranger to making interesting outbursts, whether the topic is seagulls or philosophy, and he is certainly the type of character that is perhaps missed at Old Trafford.

Some supporters have focused on the more serious part of his general observation – his claim that United will be back, but some fear that may not happen.
One fan points to Solskjaer as a figure who could prevent that comeback, and given he has won just 18 out of 39 league games in charge you can see why he feels that way.
Another is more optimistic, perhaps due to the performances of young players like Dan James and Scott McTominay this term, who more often than not have proven themselves capable, and shown they have the potential to serve the club long-term. James, for instance, has seven goal contributions while McTominay has netted against Arsenal this term.
Elsewhere, many fans have grown impatient with Solskjaer and think his time at the club is up.
