Liverpool icon, Graeme Souness, has pointed out that Manchester United features only two exceptional players – Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo – in their lineup.
Souness, who praised Cunha and Mbeumo as talented athletes, firmly believes that the Red Devils will not secure a top-four finish in the Premier League this season under their manager, Ruben Amorim.
In a conversation with Sky Bet, Souness remarked: “Man United are still average.
“Is it Ruben Amorim’s fault? Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo are good players, but the rest of the squad is quite average.
“I don’t foresee them reaching the top four [this season], which is what they need to achieve.
“Manchester United is the biggest club in [English] football, possibly the second or third largest club globally.
“However, at this moment, they are experiencing a challenging phase,” he stated.
Manchester United is not competing in the UEFA Champions League this season after failing to finish in the top four of the Premier League last year.
Currently, Amorim’s team sits in 6th place on the Premier League table, having accumulated 26 points from 16 matches.
