Former Manchester United striker Louis Saha has outlined what the current senior squad is lacking.
Man United struggling
Manchester United suffered one of their worst-ever Premier League defeats last weekend.
The Red Devils would play host to bitter rivals, Liverpool, at Old Trafford, and suffered a simply embarrassing 5-0 loss to Jurgen Klopp’s men.
Before the game was even over, Manchester United’s fans began calling for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to be sacked, with many opting to use the hashtag, ‘OleOut’.
Resentment towards Solskjaer has been building for some time now, with United already out of the League Cup, failing to impress in the Champions League and, after losing to Liverpool, falling eight points behind table-topping Chelsea in the Premier League.
What Manchester United are lacking
Now, before Man United face off with Tottenham on Saturday evening, Louis Saha has been speaking about the Red Devils.
Saha spent four years at Man United between 2004 and 2008, scoring 28 times in 86 ties.
The group of players Saha was playing alongside were, of course, some of the best in United’s storied history.
And now, the Frenchman is of the opinion that Man United’s current group of players are lacking leaders:
“We had a squad full of leaders on the pitch, like Rio Ferdinand, Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vididic, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Roy Keane. They weren’t afraid to speak their mind and to tell you if things weren’t going well.
“That direct style made you grow faster. It can be uncomfortable, but that can be good as it takes you out of your comfort zone and that’s when you grow.
“I don’t see that now [in the present group]. Maybe the era has changed. Maybe players talk to each other openly inside the team, but from the outside it looks too diplomatic.”

stupid opinion, this is best selection, what you are even saying, rashford Sancho and Fred, Maguire do not play the same position, let be reason before we write. I'm sorry I think everyone who watch the match suppose to know this formation should be permanent
yeah at least it gave them stability at the back. Cavani is my MOTM for the match. his tireless running/pressing make up for Ronaldo walking on the pitch

you are complaining of Fred. ..romove Fred from your dmf who is better in marking than Fred,take for example in Leicester game when Fred was not in the game,you can see that the MF was open, guy Fred is not the problem in man utd

Playing Ronaldo and Pogba on the same team against a formidable side is a disaster. It's always gonna be 9 against 11. That was the case when Ibrahimovic was there. When Ibrahimovic got hurt I was ecstatic. Why do you think Mourinho always parked the bus.

Why won't there be problem? pogba should have being the captain, instead the Racists heirachy decided to give the captaincy to Maguire cos he's white!!!😡
I agree with you about the captain issue. McGuire had just come to the team. Pogba was and is completely unreliable. Being white and English was not the reason. I'm sure it was his maturity / demeanor.

Saha in my opinion you got this one wrong. What the team lacks is a good tactician who is respected because of his track records not a man u legend in the name of Ole, period

the leader tht the group lacks is a qualified coach who can handle the team well and take them to the right direction, unlike ths present confused coach who doesn't know where he's going wth the team and doesn't want to be directed by resigning.
