José Mourinho is a baby, Eric Bailly is injured, and Ryan Giggs thinks Manchester United's players are unprofessional

Manchester United has just one win in their last six Premier League games, and their 4-0 loss to Chelsea on Sunday was by far their worst performance of the season. And it would be one thing if it was just a lone bad result, but it's their third out of three against their big rivals. They lost to Manchester City, drew Liverpool 0-0 in an awful game, then this.

The stories that came out of post-match aren't encouraging either. José Mourinho filled his diaper over Antonio Conte celebrating, while Ryan Giggs took issue with United players swapping shirts and joking around after getting obliterated. Oh, and it appears that Eric Bailly has a serious knee injury.

So things are looking very bad for Manchester United right now, for several reasons. But it's worth remembering that they're only six points off the top, they still have a ton of talent, and José Mourinho's never failed to win something in any of his previous five positions. A meltdown might be imminent, but a turnaround seems just as likely.
