Three defeats on the trot for Manchester United is more than enough for people to start suggesting there’s a crisis at Old Trafford.
Their loss against Watford on Sunday leaves them six points behind Manchester City in the Premier League, and after starting the season with three wins, talk of a potential title challenge from Jose Mourinho’s new side seems to be cooling.
And the bad news doesn’t stop there for Mourinho, either.
As highlighted by the Mirror, after five Premier League matches, United sit bottom of the table when it comes to distance covered by their players this season.
Jose Mourinho’s men have only clocked a total of 526.6km so far this season, a whopping 55kms behind Liverpool, who sit at the opposite end of the table.
It’s no great surprise to see a Jurgen Klopp side topping this table, with Liverpool already almost 12km ahead of second-place Manchester City (570.7km).

Something else for Jose to have a think about before United return to action next week.
United now face consecutive home matches against Leicester City and Stoke City in the league. After that, they travel to Anfield to face Liverpool on October 17th.
