00:00 I'm at Old Trafford this afternoon, Manchester United have fallen to a 2-1 defeat to Fulham in the Premier League.
00:06 A really disappointing performance after what has been such a positive week for United, but it feels like that's all been wiped away with a 90 minute display.
00:13 United have been underwhelmed for so many long periods in this game. They had little spells but they played well, certainly in the latter stages of the game as they pushed their way back into the game.
00:22 Probably in the latter stages of the second half as well, but overall this is a performance that United just didn't offer enough. We've said that too many times this season at games at Old Trafford.
00:31 Fulham come away with a first victory here since 1963 in the Premier League. I think that's probably telling of just how disappointing the afternoon is for United.
00:41 But also so is the top four picture because United are eight points off the Champions League places.
00:46 Aston Villa's win, United's defeat really opens up that gap. It was only two weeks ago we were talking about how it felt like the tables had turned a little bit.
00:53 Villa have now taken that advantage again, taken it away from United who could even lose ground on Spurs at some stages when they do play that game in hand.
01:00 They're not involved obviously this weekend, but listen, far too many disappointing performances here today.
01:05 I thought Diogo Dalo was poor, I thought Oumare Fawcett who came in for his first start for United didn't offer enough.
01:12 Marcus Rashford, anonymous for long periods of the game. Just a performance that we've seen too often. United give a sloppy in possession, too open to the counter-attack.
01:20 How many times have we seen teams just stream through the middle of United? Once again the same today against Fulham.
01:27 We've just seen it so many times and it means, as I say, that a week that everyone was talking so positively about United, they were building up performances and ahead of steam.
01:37 Now there will be questions once again asked about Eric Ten Hag and his set-up. They were obviously without some key players, Luke Shaw, Rasmus Hoyland being the big two.
01:46 United just didn't offer enough throughout this 90-minute performance. A really disappointing display from them and from Eric Ten Hag's side as they fall further behind Aston Villa in the hunt for the top four places.
