Erik ten Hag pleads for patience - but time is running out at Manchester United

Manchester United look like a team in need of open-heart surgery, to take a turn of phrase from Ralf Rangnick. The Dutchman has brought in his own signings, but they haven't had the desired impact and once again United are unravelling ahead of the season's finale. Champions League qualification is now out of reach. Sixth place looks to be the summit of United's ambition, and even that is now under threat from Newcastle.
