At least, that's the opinion of the former England national side defender Trevor Sinclair
Manchester United should be docked six points for choosing to play with as many as ten genuine reserves in their starting XI against Leicester on Tuesday night.
That's the opinion of the former England international Trevor Sinclair, who thinks that lineup Ole Gunnar Solskjaer fielded for the encounter with the Foxes was 'disrespectful'.
A 2-1 win for Leicester at Old Trafford provided Manchester City with a fifth Premier League title.
One would think that Sinclair - as the former City defender - would be delighted for this outcome but thinks an inquest is needed.
"Without being disrespectful to the players that played, they made ten changes. This is their 'B' team," Sinclair told TalkSport.

"The teams that are going to suffer from Man United's lack of due diligence, the ones who could miss out on the top four, are Chelsea possibly, Liverpool, West Ham and Tottenham.
"I think there needs to be a punishment for Man United. Three points aren't enough because that doesn't affect anything.
"I honestly feel the way they put out this team, the way they didn't safeguard their stadium, I think a six-point deduction should be given to Manchester United, "concluded this true journeyman, who featured for Blackpool, QPR, West Ham, Cardiff City and Manchester City.
