In objective reality, our form at the start of this season was the best since SAF left - with the sole possible exception of *that* 3-4 game spell under LvG.

How well a team is playing isn't objective, it's subjective. I'm not talking about form, results, or chances taken or conceded. Neither was NN or northers. It might not sit well with some, but few would argue that city are currently playing very well. United are currently light years away from that.
Most of the games have been utterly forgettable with late flurries of goals which have created flattering scorelines. As soon as any team has offered some resistance or hasn't followed Mourinho's plan of tiring and allowing his subs to take advantage, United have been clueless.
Stoke, the vermin and huddersfield have all been rinsed by teams playing well that have taken the game to them from the start. All 3 are a bit shit in all honesty but United have sat off all of them waiting for them to tire and when it hasn't happened United have had no idea how to attack them properly. That's not playing well.
