Can United Avoid an Early-Season Crisis?

The Red Devils have played just two Premier League matches, but already the mood has soured at Old Trafford. The 3-2 loss against lowly Brighton & Hove Albion came in embarrassing fashion, and it led to all kinds of questions regarding manager Jose Mourinho.

BeIN Sports' Richard Keys relayed "inside" information that indicated the squad has lost faith in the tactician (h/t the Mirror's David Maddock):

United need a win, but unfortunately for them, their next opponents are in-form Spurs. Tottenham have made the perfect start to the season, with two wins from their first two fixtures.

Star striker Harry Kane―known for making slow starts to the season―has already gotten off the mark, and he took to Twitter after netting in the 3-1 win over Fulham:

The team is without Heung-Min Son, who is away on international duty, but Lucas Moura has done a wonderful job replacing him. Defensively, Spurs have shown some early-season jitters, but overall, the squad has done just fine.

Perhaps most encouraging has been the form of full-backs Kieran Trippier and Ben Davies, who ran all over their opposite numbers against Fulham. United's wide men struggled against Brighton, and they could be in for a far greater challenge on Monday.

Not everything has gone perfect for Spurs, however. Goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris was charged with drink driving on Friday, per Rob Harris of the Associated Press:

United's top summer arrival, Fred, has yet to impress in his limited time with the club, and he will have to turn things around in a hurry. His ability to win battles in the midfield trenches is crucial to creating space for Paul Pogba, as well as shielding a defence that has featured too many individual errors.

Prediction: United 1-1 Spurs
