Barring the near-miracle of Champions League qualification this is surely the annus horribilis of Manchester United in the Premier League era. Even if they beat Brentford and Ralf Rangnick’s team win their final two games they can only equal their lowest ever total of 64 points in the competition and this is with a far more expensive squad than David Moyes had when his 34-league game tenure of 2013-14 ended on that mark. But, to paraphrase Samuel Beckett, United, must go, because, well, they have to, and move forward in the quest for better days. Jamie Jackson
