Effortless At Old Trafford.  Well, I just quietly put down the Sky remote, Choked back the primeval cry from my throat, I didn't curse at God or kick the dog, nor the cat- Whenever I watch Man U on TV at night they all scat.  Oh, believe me, I feel like wildly ranting and raving, But I consider the kids, and a marriage worth saving, I don't wish to raucously rouse my sleeping household, And why get Noise Control or divorce lawyers involved?  So rather than screaming, I decided to silently vent, Now over my keyboard I'm pounding, displeasure bent, Spewing, spouting out all my frustrations over the season- The way soddin' United have failed to play I've many a reason.  Man U have so easily blown away two recent bosses, (Less two sharing the glory, more halving their losses,) But I watched as our torpid crew drew to Leicester today And most couldn't muster the energy to even fester away.  I saw our wonky backline, Mag, Luke Unsure, Dalot,* Outside of Varane- as defenders they don't offer a lot, Did Cap'n Maguire bellow out his directions from the deep? Barely a peep, seeing his fellow defenders keep falling asleep.  Given our toothless attack, Rangnick gave Rashford a run, After a jog or two, he parked up out wide, enjoying the sun, McTominay kept manfully back-tackling, not easily shaken off Till a bad tackle meant someones kneecap or he'd be next taken off.  'Tis a sad day indeed when Man U only score via Fred, Hearing that would've had Cristiano giggling in his sick bed, Sad to know Bruno hadn't turned up with his shooting boots on; Signing a juicy new three-year deal means that's one target down?  We're grateful we can rely on Pogba long as he's here, Happy are we he's not focusing on his future till next year, Sancho failed but kept trying; (at least my patience was tried.) Such an asset, consistently smashing every ball high and wide.  Getting stuck with this second-best team, Table top remains an unattainable dream, DisUnited display a lot of huff, a lot of puff, But blood red passion? Not nearly enough.  *Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw, Diogo Dalot.
