Three defeats in a row. It wasn't meant to be like this.
Manchester City, Feyenoord and now Watford. The 3-1 scoreline at Vicarage Road was emphatic and deserved and it does not bode well for Jose Mourinho and his beleaguered charges.
The away side started with all of Marcus Rashford, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney on the pitch, along with £89m man Paul Pogba. It didn't matter.
There was no reaction from the team following back-to-back losses at home and abroad, and United fans everywhere are not happy one bit. In fact they're thoroughly pissed off.
As ever with these things, anger needs an outlet, and that means a scapegoat. Perhaps understandably, Sunday's villain was Wayne Rooney, but it wasn't necessary a knee-jerk reaction.
Many fans are growing more and more frustrated at the captain's continued selection despite his poor form, and it seems that the defeat to the Hornets was the final straw.
Television pundits - many of them Rooney's pals - are reticent to criticise the number 10, but this lot are not. Feel the ire...
