They are not playing well but they are not as awful as media narrative is trying to portray. 1 defeat in last 6 games is not awful. I wouldn't underestimate them on Sunday.

Look, who knows what will happen on Sunday, they certainly have the capacity to beat us if they're on it and we aren't, but those 6 games are not exactly an impressive run:

Soton 0 - 3 UTD (Soton down to 10 men at 0-2)

UTD 7 - 0 Barnsley

Palace 0 - 0 UTD

UTD 1 - 1 Twente

UTD 0 - 3 Spurs

Porto 3 - 3 UTD

Two wins, against a League One side and the worst side in the Premier League; three draws, all in games they went into as heavy favourites; and a fairly shambolic defeat against the closest 'peer' side they've faced. The game before this run was another 3-0 defeat to a 'peer'. 

Even if they're not quite 'awful', this is not an impressive run of form.

The problem is and always will be that you have to apply that to the context of what they were 20-30 years ago when they were winning the CL and consecutive PLs

If you say not as awful as they're made out to be in the context of an ok team chasing 4th and maybe a cup then no they're not and it's about right, that's what man utd are now 

But which one do you think man utd fans think they are? And that's why the media and everyone else can pile in on them with a wry smile
