Bruno Fernandes looks exhausted, strikers are out of form and they are badly missing Paul Pogba… the reasons why Manchester United are so blunt after no goals in almost FIVE hours (and it doesn't get much easier with Man City up next!)

On January 12, Manchester United had just gone top of the Premier League and it looked as though they could mount an unlikely bid for the title.

But just seven weeks later, following Wednesday night's draw with Crystal Palace, they are now 14 points behind Manchester City and are instead facing a fight to secure a top-four finish.

The stalemate at Selhurst Park perfectly encapsulated Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's recent woes. United are not losing games, just one defeat in 10, but they are struggling to win them at the same time and look short of attacking verve and invention.
