The Red Devils can count themselves lucky to be bound for Wembley after a hugely disappointing display in a 2-1 second-leg defeat by Hull City.
For Jose Mourinho's 54th birthday, the Manchester United supporters unwrapped a brand new chant in which they proclaim that 'Jose's playing the way Man Utd should'.
And while they will get to give the song an airing at Wembley in February after completing a 3-2 aggregate win over Hull City, there might be cause to revisit some of the sentiments if their side keep playing as they did in their second-leg defeat at the KCOM Stadium.
Leading 2-0 from the first leg, this was all set to be a walk in the park but United's players seemed to take the idea too literally as they allowed Marco Silva's side onto the front foot to such an extent that they were arguably flattered by the narrow margin of defeat.
Having taken forever to get going in the recent draws with Liverpool and Stoke City, this was another non-event of a United performance before the break. They were listless from the off, failing to test a massively weakened Hull side who should really have been taken to the cleaners.
