The comprehensive nature of the 2-0 home defeat by Manchester City immediately before the international break made the result, in its own way, as demoralising as the record 5-0 home loss to Liverpool a fortnight before. United's embarrassing 5-0 defeat was their heaviest ever at home to Liverpool, as well as...
