10 Worst Man Utd Performances This Decade

6. West Ham 4-0 Man United, 2010

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wfn5KREZ8E The excuse could be given that this was a Manchester United second string, that it was only the Carling Cup and that the starting line-up featured the likes of Gabriel Obertan and Bebe. The counter-argument, of course, is that this is still Manchester United, and losing a cup semi-final 4-0 to a team destined to finish bottom of the Premier League is ridiculous practice. The side may have been weakened, but it still featured four Champions League winners, a £10 million-rated defender and a Mexican hot-shot with an insane goals-per-game ratio. But the performance that was churned in was certainly befitting of a reserve squad, as they meekly surrendered to a team consisting of Tal Ben Haim, Julien Faubert and Luis Boa Morte. Former Red Devil Jonathan Spector had never scored in English football before, but somehow found the back of the net twice in the first-half, before Carlton Cole capitalised on disarray in an uncertain back line to add a brace in the second half. If there wasn€™t a cup final at stake, it might have been comical for the Red Devil support, as they slumped to a nightmarish defeat. It was a performance littered with basic errors, no communication and static movement, as the club made the likes of Victor Obinna and Pablo Barrera look like world-beaters. If one were to take this game at face value, they would never have guessed correctly which side would finish the season as league champions and which one would end bottom of the pile.
