Welcome back to another Teamsheet. Manchester United fans have seen their side suffer several embarrassing defeats in recent years – but a Premier League clash 27 years ago remains one of their worst.

October 26 1996 was one of Sir Alex Ferguson‘s worst days in charge as the Red Devils succumbed to a 6-3 loss at the hands of Southampton. The Saints ran riot, and there could have been even more goals.

We want you to name the United side that fell to defeat, featuring one player who ended up scoring an own goal. Full instructions on how to play are at the bottom of the article and in the game itself – and make sure to come back tomorrow!

Best of luck!

HOW TO PLAY 

The aim of the game is to score as few points as possible! 

If you guess a player at the first attempt you score one point – so the lowest score for guessing every player at the first attempt is 11.

Guess a correct letter in the right position, and it’ll turn green. Guess a correct letter but in the wrong position, and it’ll turn yellow.

You have six guesses for each player – and if you fail, we’ll reveal their identity for 11 points! You can also ask for a free letter, but it costs you a point.

So play on to see if you’ll score the best possible total of 11 – or fail on every player and score 121.
