Back in the first game of the season, a 2-1 defeat to Brighton, Manchester United fans saw the same United from the year previous.
Depleted, toothless, way below the demands of the supporters. Whenever a goal went in, heads would go down as each player avoided eye contact with each other, feeling sorry for themselves as responsibility seemed to be passed from player to player.
Body language that frustrates fans in attendance and damages the atmosphere within the stadium as the positive feeling of a good pre-season comes crashing back down to reality.
The lack of character and personality is a massive part of the way in which Old Trafford has become far from the daunting fortress it used to be for opposition teams.
