Man Utd news conference: Carrick and Mainoo to speak before Champions League
Well, in a literal sense, they get a break from the Premier League and instead face Italian side Roma in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
It hasn't been going much better for Michael Carrick's side in Europe with one win and two defeats in three games so far, including the 4-1 humbling by Como last time out.
The beauty of the league phase is that things can change quickly and a positive result on Tuesday night could prove a springboard for not only their Champions League journey but for their season as a whole.
It wont be an easy task, however, as visiting Roma have lost just once in all competitions so far this season.
They remain unbeaten in Serie A and after a 5-2 victory against Udinese on Saturday, will fancy their chances at implementing more misery on the wounded Red Devils.
Unchartered territory
Saturday's defeat by Chelsea means Manchester United sit 17th in the Premier League table after nine games played.
Michael Carrick's side are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference and just two points off rock bottom side, Sunderland.
There have been struggles in the red half of Manchester in recent seasons but this may be the bleakest it has looked yet.
So, where do they go from here?
