Things are changing so fast, and never expected them to go down even deeper to the out of top 10 EPL. They have tried to put some of players to sale in the last summer window, and they rarely got offer for their players. It seems to me they have to start from the scratch.
when you consider that almost all the players in the team have become unreliable and don't even have that confidence of playing from the players, you just get to see them working really hard and yet making one ot two mistakes that there opponents will capitalize on and use it to get a victory over them. To be honest, they've not been balling that bad even on thier recent games but have been dominating and showing that they are not just all that bad but with few mistakes, you just get to see some unnecessary goals which most times comes from loosed passes or something out of the blue and they just go down and find it really hard to recover.
If rashford goes and the whole of the defence is completely wiped out leaving only onana, things might just start to work well for the team. Bruno Fernandez has been doing daily well and since he's at the right hand of the new coach, it's less likely the possibility of him exiting the team. Will be there but then, if they are hoping to get anywhere near the top five of the table, they need to first of all do away with at least 70% of the players and try to create a consistent team that will be certain of getting regular playing time and see to it that they are improving. Mere looking at how competitive the top four teams are, it will take a lot of discipline before they can get to that spot.
