CHRIS WHEELER: Man United were insipid, lifeless and downright ugly in tame Como surrender. How much longer can Michael Carrick and his team sleepwalk through this wretched season?

The result continues a difficult run of form for the club under Michael Carrick, who has struggled to find positives during what has been a troubled season.
