What a difference a week makes.
Just seven days after taking a giant stride towards securing a top-four finish with a 1-0 win over Aston Villa, Manchester United, all of a sudden, are now looking nervously over their shoulders. Sunday night's 1-0 defeat to West Ham United has left them just one point ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool with just three weeks of the season remaining.
David de Gea's latest howler gifted the Hammers all three points at the London Stadium, leaving Erik ten Hag and his United players to reflect on a second away defeat in just four days. The Reds have taken just four points from the last 12 on offer and have scored just one goal in their last three matches. They're stuttering at the wrong time.
