Marko Van Basten was not holding back and slammed his compatriot Erik ten Hag for wrongdoing at Manchester United
Manchester United squad has faced a serious scrutiny in the last few days, especially after the dreadful 3-0 home loss to Tottenham on Sunday.
Football legend Marco van Basten has also criticised his fellow Dutchman, Erik ten Hag, especially for lousy signings.
Van Basten said on Ziggo Sport: "I saw a new player, Ugarte, or something like that. Fifty million euros! Then I think: how can he walk around like that? It's crazy how much money he spent on players who aren't good."
He added: "Just no top players [at Manchester United]. [Marcus] Rashford doesn't hit a pepper nut anymore. [Bruno] Fernandes is a good player, [Andre] Onana is a decent keeper. For the rest, there are no guys about whom you can say 'they are strong players'.
"Casemiro is passé. Name any name. That right-winger, [Alejandro] Garnacho, is a decent player but not a key player. There are no players others can cling to," concluded Van Basten.
