Manchester United fans feeling entitled.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;m totally with you on this. He&#8217;s protecting Hojlund, who&#8217;s just come back from a long-term injury. So he would have had a plan with the medical department about taking him off.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;And it&#8217;s just unraveling. Manchester United fans need to keep their heads. There are so many different sort of aspects which are wrong at Manchester United.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;You&#8217;ve got it from the top with the Glazers, the recruitment you have to say hasn&#8217;t been great and then the thing Ten Hag can control is performances on the pitch but then when he&#8217;s got players missing, he&#8217;s got Anthony missing and Sancho missing, that&#8217;s not his fault.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>However, Sutton stopped short of insisting United&#8217;s situation was irretrievable as he said: &#8216;Look, I don&#8217;t think Manchester United are in crisis, and I certainly don&#8217;t think Chelsea are in crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;We can&#8217;t judge both teams on five games.
