Well what Manchester united are currently facing now is not a new thing at all because most big teams in English premier league have a couple of stories to tell themselves because I can remember vividly the days when Liverpool were also passing through such times and not only Newcastle but arsenal and Chelsea too have had their own fair share of bad and poor days but yet they all found a way out of it and I also think united case wouldn't be any different because I think a saviour will come and lift them out and I believe its just a matter of time factor.
Chelsea is still having Some issues with been consistent with their improvements, actually earlier this season they weren't as good as they are now , when they had series of losses and were struggling to get points , currently I still see Chelsea as still improving an not yet in their very best form for the league this season.
Manchester united will hopefully get better but we aren't certain how long it will take before they will be able to fix all the challenges they are facing at the moment, in as much as this is more like a common phenomenon with big teams in the premier league where they do have times when they experience some down times and later get back on their feet but that of Manchester united seem to have looked like they are doing little or almost nothing about it and the team has suffered this fate for a greater part of this season so far but all Manchester united fans should keep hope alive and expect better days ahead.
