With Manchester United’s 25-match unbeaten streak finally at an end in the Premier League, the state of their season again falls into sharp focus, and the view is not an exhilarating one. The performance against Arsenal was not only very disappointing but also deeply revealing. Sunday’s 2-0 defeat came after manager Jose Mourinho made eight changes in order to rest players for the second leg of the Europa League semifinal against Celta Vigo. United were listless and thoroughly short of ideas. The very same weekend, Real Madrid provided an unfortunate contrast. Fielding what was essentially a B-team against Granada, they…
