10 Worst Man Utd Performances This Decade

They don't mess up often. But when they do, it isn't pretty.

Manchester United have become synonymous with the heroic comebacks, the fabulous thrashings and the dominant displays of superiority. Such was their stranglehold on the Premier League and temerity, grit and resilience under Sir Alex Ferguson, that they rarely chucked out insipid displays. However, like any great club, they still happened, and the last decade has seen some real hammerings which have left Manchester United supporters crying into their porridge. When a club has become so used to winning nearly every week, the performances devoid of any passion or effort can really hurt the supporters, which is why Ferguson strived to rid the club of such displays. The performances below have been toothless, abject and chaotic - one such game even cost the club captain his job, such was his fury at his team-mates' ineptitude. Take a look at the ten worst performances that the club has turned out since October 2004 - for a club of the magnitude, grandeur and spectacle of Manchester United, they should certainly never be losing in this manner.
