Former Liverpool player Jason McAteer has criticized Manchester United for their poor start to the Champions League season, saying that they have lost their identity and that no one fears them anymore.
United lost 4-3 to Bayern Munich on Wednesday, their fourth defeat in six games this season. McAteer believes that this is a sign that United have lost their way and that they are no longer the team they once were.
He said that United used to have a fear factor about them, but that is no longer the case. He also said that United’s players look like they are “swanning around” on the pitch, as if they think they can win games without even trying.
McAteer’s criticism is echoed by many other fans and pundits, who are concerned about the state of the club. United have not won a trophy since 2017, and they have not been competitive in the Champions League for many years.
It is clear that United need to make some changes if they want to return to their former glory. They need to find a manager who can instill a winning mentality in the players, and they need to sign some quality players who can help them to compete at the highest level.
