Manchester United have had a stop-start campaign to this point.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's Red Devils have on paper a team capable of winning anything and everything.
But after a positive start in the Premier League, Man United were brought back down to earth in Europe and the Carabao Cup.

Solskjaer's men then dropped more points in the Premier League and have slipped down to fourth in the table.
The problems aren't exactly mounting for Solskjaer, who is under incredible pressure to win his first piece of silverware as manager of the club this season.
But one potential issue he needs to nip in the bud involves his handling of Cristiano Ronaldo.
When United were splashing the cash this summer, bringing in huge names including Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho, Solskjaer was warned about the importance of managing big egos in the dressing room.
Dimitar Berbatov hinted that it had the potential to be a problem for the Norwegian in an interview with Mirror Football.
He said: "There is always a danger when you have big personalities and big egos in the team and this is the case for the manager to control the dressing room.
"But also for the players to know how to behave and speak with one another and to have respect. Don't forget, the common goal is to do everything you can for the team to win.
"In the dressing room you can't love everybody, not everybody is going to love you, but when you step onto the pitch or turn up at a training session, the one goal is the betterment of the team."

In Man United's last match against Everton, Ronaldo was named on the bench - a decision that caused eyebrows to raise.
The Portugal international eventually came off the bench but was unable to spur his side to victory and stormed off the pitch when the final whistle sounded.
After the match, Solskjaer was again warned he must contain egos.
Gary Neville told Sky Sports: "Is Cristiano upset when he doesn't play? Yes. Is Cristiano upset when he doesn't score? Yes.
"Is Cristiano annoyed as hell when the team don't win? Of course. We know those things. He doesn't have to prove that.
"He walked off the pitch muttering to himself, which throws the questions up in the air - what's he saying? Who is he annoyed with?
"It can only come back to the manager. Actions like that - and Cristiano is smart enough to know this - will bring real pressure on the manager, more pressure than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is already under."
He added: "I think he has to look after himself, Ole, be selfish and make sure he manages Cristiano in such a way - and he will do, he's managed Paul Pogba for the last couple of years pretty well.

'I think he will have a word with Cristiano and say, "look, come on, if you're going to do that, let's do it in the changing room.'"
Solskjaer is not facing a crisis at Manchester United by any means, but managing the personalities in the dressing room is arguably his hardest job this season.
Even before the arrival of Ronaldo, Solskjaer had the likes of Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba to keep in check, and it will be a testament to his man-management skills more than anything else if he can lead this side to silverware this season.
