Paul Merson has called out Manchester United for their recent performances.
“I’m watching them now and honestly, it’s cringeworthy, it’s embarrassing. It’s embarrassing. Manchester United have to get into the Champions League.”
“Players will be looking at this and thinking they are a million miles behind Manchester City and Liverpool, who are their arch-rivals.”
“If you look at Jose Mourinho at the end it was a relief that he left because he probably thought: ‘How he was going to close the gap?’ Mourinho would have looked at Liverpool rising too.”
“In my opinion Manchester United are the biggest club in the world, but if they came in for me and I was a top drawer player but I could go other places, I would seriously be looking and thinking: ‘Would I want to come here? Are we ever going to get near City or Liverpool?”
“They need to bring in top quality players. They could say to Ole: ‘You’ve got four years here now, get some youngsters in like a Callum Hudson-Odoi or a Jadon Sancho.'”
“Players who are enthusiastic, who’ve got pace and energy and play like the old Manchester United did.”
