It was always going to be interesting to see how much football would change without supporters in the stadium, and it does seem like home advantage isn’t as big as it used to be.
That would make sense as fans should drive their own team on and intimidate the opposition, but it looks like Man United are struggling more than most.
They lost again against Arsenal today with a performance that can best be described as flat, and it looks like the manager thinks the lack of supporters is a major reason for their struggles:

Ole Gunnar solskjaer is a stupid man he believes in mc tominay,fred and matic than that new boy van de beek.is it because the guy was bought by the man united management? Solskjaer supposed to be sacked.
McTominay and Fred can be effective sitting deep in a 4-2-3-1 – United didn’t beat last years CL finalists and semi-finalists by accident. Van de Beek isn’t a defensive midfielder so your argument that it’s as simple as a direct swap is silly.
McTominay on the right of a diamond did look awful though. Bad communication with Wan-Bissaka and was never sure what position he was supposed to be in. Would have made much more sense to play Mata there.
In any sence i can mostly say the man called by the name ole isn’t the right person that is fit to take coach the club
