Manchester United is becoming the impossible job, according to Patrice Evra. You may have heard that one before. England used to be the impossible job, remember. Then Gareth Southgate came along.
Oldham. That looks pretty impossible right now. Maybe Newcastle, although that will change. Derby, too. But Manchester United? Are you kidding? The club that left Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench on Sunday? The club that could not find room in the starting line-up for Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata, Anthony Martial, Mason Greenwood or Donny van de Beek?
That is waiting for Paul Pogba, Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Raphael Varane to come back from injury or suspension?
