Manchester United 0-0 Watford

Bruno Fernandes, the stand-in captain, missed three great chances, while Cristiano Ronaldo had a tantrum as his goalless streak stretched to ten games.

In a wasteful performance, the out-of-form forward missed a number of chances, bringing his goal total to one in ten games. Rangnick, who had termed it as a “must-win” game because of upcoming away trips to Manchester City and Liverpool, ended up with a front four after making bold adjustments, but it wasn’t enough.
