Embittered pundit and former Liverpool participant Graeme Souness has launched one other of his abusive tirades at Manchester United.
Souness, who turned famend for his fixed public criticism of Paul Pogba whereas he was at United, has broadened his scope this time to assault a number of Purple Devils without delay.
Writing for The Mail, the mediocre former midfielder began with new goalkeeper Andre Onana, of whom he mentioned “I count on him to make errors.”
“Onana is definitely higher than David de Gea with the ball. However will he win them as many factors as De Gea did? … I doubt it,” the ex-Middlesbrough participant mentioned.
He then went on to say he was “mystified” that Bruno Fernandes has been made captain, saying “he’s simply not captain materials”.
Maybe somebody ought to inform that to Sporting Lisbon, the place Fernandes is a folks hero for captaining the aspect to one among its most profitable durations in its historical past.
Souness then goes on to play one from his best hits album, saying “Final 12 months I used to be criticised for saying that Casemiro is a gentle Eddie in midfield, however I stick by that.”
Shifting on to United’s forwards, the previous pundit mentioned “they’re peculiar”.
“On the wings, you take a look at Jadon Sancho, Antony and Alejandro Garnacho. I don’t assume any of them are adequate to be United gamers long-term,” he opined.
The previous Liverpool and Newcastle supervisor, who by no means managed a factors common of greater than 1.50 per sport in English soccer, then tried to vary the topic and discuss the usual of refereeing within the Premier League.
“United keeper Andre Onana comes out and smashes into an opponent they usually’ve taken three or 4 minutes to determine it’s not a penalty. If that problem occurs on the midway line it’s a crimson card!,” he moans. He simply can’t assist himself.
Even supposing Souness’ enjoying profession got here at a time when United had been enduring some of the barren spells of their historical past, for some purpose the Scotsman’s obsession with the Purple Devils by no means appears to subside.
His newest barrage will little doubt be grist for the mill at Previous Trafford as Erik ten Hag will little doubt use it to encourage his gamers and silence the king of the hostile critics, at the very least for a short time.
