First of all, it is 6th, nothing major to be upset about, I get that you are used to seeing United at top places but 6th is not bad. Secondly, it’s getting better I agree but not as good as being second, which means you are far away from what you were just 1.5 years ago, how quickly did you fall from grace and suddenly have hope again, just calm down, it’s not a big deal.
I think thats thw point right there, they aren't used to not being in the top and they've got some quality players to guarantee that and still, they continue to struggle. Can't say they aren't doing great at the moment although, they ought to have taken there chances with Aston Villa over the weekend but they didn't and have got the 5th spot on the league table to show for it.
Speaking of Manchester United lose against Aston Villa in the EPL, they've got same fixtures in the Carabao cup and they aren't doing good either. At the moment, they are losing Manchester United 1:2 Aston Villa and its not looking like they would manage a draw.
