Manchester United are still licking their wounds after being thrashed by Tottenham Hotspur.
The Premier League was shaken to its core on Sunday evening with two bizarre results back-to-back as the humiliation at Old Trafford was followed up with Aston Villa thrashing Liverpool 7-2.
Nevertheless, you got the feeling that United's annihilation was more symptomatic of systemic problems at the club, whereas the Reds' defeat appeared to come completely out of left-field.
Crisis at Man Utd
The Red Devils have displayed a rudderless transfer strategy throughout the summer with Donny van be Beek proving the only arrival before a heavy-handed flurry on Deadline Day.
At the very least, the latter-day signings of Alex Telles, Edinson Cavani and co. sought to place a convenient smokescreen over the damage that was inflicted by Jose Mourinho's men.
From the very moment that a defensive catastrophe from Harry Maguire allowed Spurs to cancel out Bruno Fernandes opener, the Jenga tower on which United seem to be built began to tumble.
Man Utd 1-6 Tottenham
Braces from Harry Kane and Son Heung-min as well as a tidy finish from Serge Aurier confined United to a Premier League defeat only matched by the 2011 Manchester City humiliation.
Naturally, it made for entertaining viewing for neutral fans sat in front of their television, but there was one thing missing from Sky Sports' coverage in the United Kingdom.
Fans were quick to take to social media bemoaning the fact that United legend Roy Keane was not part of the punditry team on Sunday despite literally being the perfect man for the job.
Where was Roy Keane?
The legendary Premier League captain seldom goes an appearance without going viral for his scathing assessments and sinking the knife into his former team would have been TV gold.
However, fear not, because Keane finally got his chance to give United a verbal beatdown as he took to the studio for ITV's coverage of England's 3-0 win over Wales on Thursday night.
Despite being five days in the making, Keane made it worth the wait by suggesting the United players were ripe to throw Ole Gunnar Solskjaer under the bus just like Jose Mourinho.
Keane finally gives his reaction
According to the Daily Mail, Keane said: "The performance against Spurs was disgraceful. A disgrace to the badge with that performance.
"We’ve all been in football and had bad days but I thought some of the players were a disgrace to the badge.
"(There were) too many bluffers and ultimately, these players will cost Ole his job. They threw the previous manager (Mourinho) under the bus. They will do the same to Ole."
GIVEMESPORT's Kobe Tong says
Keane being Keane, his reactions tend to be dialled up to 11 and I certainly don't think the United squad are actively downing tools to let down Solskjaer.
The situation at Old Trafford is an incredibly delicate one and I don't think I'm alone in opining that the problems lie further up the club's hierarchy than the dressing room and technical area.
Frankly, I think if Solskjaer is to be sacked before the turn of the year, it will likely have more to do with his transfer vision being let down as opposed to the players throwing in the towel.
Either way, though, United must snap themselves out of the vicious cycle that is seeing managers hired, backed, reach the top four, then not backed, sacked and repeat. Something's got to give.
