Most accept that this flawed Manchester United side will lose their fair share of games this season But when they lose, they cannot lose like this If the result was bad, the abject manner of this defeat was worse, with worrying hallmarks of last season www.nytimes.com/athletic/683...

A few reasons why not even this season’s Manchester United can mess this up And at least one big reason why they can www.nytimes.com/athletic/632...

Amad and Matthijs de Ligt named in Manchester United’s 26-man squad for trip to Athletic Club Bendito Mantato also travelling to Bilbao Chido Obi and Sekou Kone ineligible but included for Friday training session

Diogo Dalot ruled out for 'next games' with a calf injury, potentially out for the season. Ruben Amorim: “There is that possibility but we don’t know, we’ll check week by week. He works hard. He can recover quite well. We’ll see." www.nytimes.com/athletic/630...

Still, despite it all, think a confident Rasmus Hojlund is a useful player It doesn’t help that there’s no hiding place for him right now But Ruben Amorim doesn’t really have any other option, and sometimes the only way out of barren run is through it www.nytimes.com/athletic/629...

Amorim on Hojlund: "The only way I know is to work on him, show him the videos. He needs to score a goal, he will not score if he’s out. So I try to manage that during games. But he needs to score one, maybe that’s all a striker needs."

Not a result to get worked up over but familiar issues at the root of it. 15 defeats in the league, 13 games without scoring, and the same struggles to turn chances into actual shots, let alone goals

Manchester United XI to play Wolves: Onana, Mazraoui, Lindelof, Fredericson, Dorgu, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass, Garnacho, Mainoo, Hojlund

Football, fucking hell

United getting a lot of joy out of those long diagonal balls out the back and into the channels. Fernandes' strike against the bar the same. Lyon haven't been able to cope

Lovely United goal. Mazraoui's ball to find Fernandes in space on the right is smart, great touch by Garnacho to get past two defenders and unselfish cut-back Even Hojlund making the run into the six-yard box to take a defender with him and make space for Ugarte. One of the best scored under Amorim

Manchester United XI to play Lyon: Onana, Mazraoui, Maguire, Yoro, Dalot, Casemiro, Ugarte, Dorgu, Garnacho, Fernandes, Hojlund

At least £85m to be earned from qualifying for the Champions League next season It’s a payday that “can change everything”, says Ruben Amorim. Manchester United cannot afford to miss out on it www.nytimes.com/athletic/626...

Predictable stuff from the United writers’ room tonight. I know it’s been a long 12 years of this now but do better
