Dutch legend Marco Van Basten has criticized Manchester United’s players for being ‘spoilt boys’ following their Europa League clash with AZ Alkmaar. The Red Devils played out a stalemate against the Eredivesie side, inviting criticism for lack of quality from fans and pundits alike.
United also haven’t been that good in the Premier League. Solskjaer’s men have notched only two wins from seven games in the English top-tier.
And, Van Basten didn’t stay behind when it came to lambasting United.
“What have United done so far? They beat Astana 1-0! They are 10th in the English Premier League and they are playing a kind of Âfootball which you really don’t want to write home about,” the former AC Milan striker said.
“If I was at AZ Alkmaar, their Âopponent, I’d have been very annoyed – and I would have been incredibly Âmotivated to show how annoyed I was.”
“These United players are very well-paid Âprofessionals. So are they saying they should not be playing on an artificial pitch? Please, get lost. Stop talking about these spoilt boys.”
“These are players who are paid an awful lot of money and Âsupposed to be so Âprofessional.”
“They shouldn’t be moaning about an Âartificial pitch. If you allow them to moan, you are just Âcreating a load of wingers.”
Manchester United will look to get back to winning ways as they visit Newcastle today.
