'What have they done? They are 10th in EPL' - Van Basten slams arrogant Man Utd

Dutch legend Marco van ­Basten has branded ­Manchester United an arrogant club that can no longer consider ­themselves as part of the ­European elite.

The 54-year-old former Ajax and AC Milan striker was shocked to see how far United had fallen when Ole Gunnar ­Solskjaer's side were held to a goalless draw by AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League on ­Thursday night.

He said: “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 ­football which you really don't want to write home about.

“If I were them, I would travel around with a lot less acting.

“Man United are a really big club – but I am only talking about lots and lots of money.

“They just look down on games in the Europa League and it is very regrettable.

“If I was at AZ Alkmaar, their ­opponent, I'd have been very annoyed – and I would have been incredibly ­motivated to show how annoyed I was.”

“They shouldn't be moaning about an ­artificial pitch. If you allow them to moan, you are just ­creating a load of whingers.”
