And fullsies all around.
Watford 0 City 4
United 0 Palace 0
Watford 0 Liverpool 3
The situation is getting desperate at Manchester United. City, Liverpool, and United have now all played 13 matches. United are behind City by 14 points, 'Pool by 12 and six behind Champions League fourth place Spurs who play Chelsea in half an hour and would make the gap seven with a win. That is, United have have lost a point a match against the top two and a half point (or more) against UCL qualification after one-third of the season.
The Glazer family will only fire a manager mid-season if their "asset" is no longer in contention for the UCL. You cannot be out of it after 13 matches but if the idea is also to have reasonable hope at securing a UCL spot during the season then the Glazers may look at that ominous math, for every match they wait brings them one-half point or closer to elimination.
