Man United ended the rot with a heart-stopping win over Fulham through a 91st-minute winner from Bruno Fernandes.
A bedsheet unfurled in the away end had the words 'Play like you mean it!!' daubed onto it. Manchester United players got the message.
Even in the haphazard set of events that led to the goal, Fernandes almost ceded the ball with an overhit pass that Scott McTominay salvaged. Great credit has to go to substitute Facundo Pellistri, who blocked two attempted clearances and laid the ball off for Fernandes to find the angle. When Fernandes got the ball, his impact was captain material.
This now has to be a turning point for Erik ten Hag. He was one of the last to emerge from the tunnel prior to kick-off and he earned a warm and specific ovation as he passed the United supporters in the Putney End. The first rendition of 'Ten Hag's red and white army' came six minutes in. Antony, in contrast, was his usual frivolous self and United fans were audibly disgruntled when he again insisted on switching to his left foot. A cross was possible with his right. At an investment of £86.3million, Antony is a growing contender for the club's poorest signing.
