Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear. Manchester United 1-6 Tottenham.
From front to back and from left to right, United were abject. It was a complete and utter humiliation.
One plus point is that crushing lows like this one, always lead to some truly world class social media content. Today was no different.
A 6-1 home defeat to Tottenham with a performance that was nothing short of shambolic...

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's darkest moment at Man United, is there any way back from this? ?#MUNTOT pic.twitter.com/UWxsMGGOWa
One of the most fun parts of the momentous result was comparing how the two side's official accounts reacted.
Tottenham's media guys smashed it out of the park, congratulations.
United, meanwhile, kept things as dignified as is physically possible after losing 6-1.

However, as is often the case, the social media battle was mainly fought between the fans. Because United were involved, people were pretty much united (get it?) in taking the piss out of the Red Devils.
Not for the first time, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer received quite the battering.
Moments that unite the country:

Not sure why I'm receiving so much abuse. Fans should be grateful we managed to even score one with such a poor inexpensive squad.

Man Utd have lost each of their first two home games of a Premier League season for the first time in the club’s history.

In the opposition camp, José Mourinho's horde of devotee were busy gassing up their Special One.
Fair play. 6-1 at the Old Trafford is pretty impressive, even against this omnishambles of a United side.
They laughed when he said it but Mourinho's comments on this Man Uyd squad in 2018 are aging well with time:

"If I tell you, for example, that I consider one of the best jobs of my career was to finish second with Man Utd in the Premier League, you will say, 'this guy is crazy."

That’s 13 goals in 2 games for @SpursOfficial. The first time in Jose Mourinho’s managerial career that his side has achieved such a feat. Especially impressive when you consider one of those sides was....Maccabi Haifa.

After conceding six, yes SIX, goals, you won't be surprised to hear that both of United's centre-back received a Twitter battering as well.
First up, Maguire. His horrific performance did not go down well...

Ol' Slabhead's defensive partner Eric Bailly was not a popular man either. On balance, he probably got off more lightly than the England international.
Harry Maguire and Eric Bailly both made an error directly leading to a goal against Spurs, the first time two Man Utd players have done so in the same Premier League game since December 2018.

We finish with the man who, depending on who you ask, is responsible for all of United's ills, Ed Woodward.
We're no experts Ed, but we're pretty sure your supporters may want you to sign some players.
