MANCHESTER, England -- Three thoughts from Old Trafford as Man United were forced to settle for a 0-0 draw at home to struggling Hull.
1. Damaging draw for below-par United
Manchester United have had few more painful days this season. Even as they stretched their unbeaten league run to 14 games, they still find themselves up four points adrift of fifth place and facing an uphill task to qualify for the Champions League.
One Manchester side scored four goals on Wednesday night but that was City, at West Ham, while United played what was, in theory, the easiest game of the season, a home date with the bottom club.
