Gary Neville has slammed Manchester United as 'pathetic, spiritless and spineless' after Sunday's 6-1 loss to Tottenham.
Despite taking an early lead through Bruno Fernandes, the Red Devils were blown away by Jose Mourinho's rampant Spurs.
"There is no excuse for those players who were out on that pitch today, they were absolutely pathetic," United legend Neville said on Sky Sports. "Their body language was terrible, it was spiritless and spineless.
"When you've got a squad that lacks resilience and know-how to win games, the off the pitch stuff with Harry Maguire and Mason Greenwood, the darkness surrounding recruitment and not getting players when Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are signing players, the minute Spurs went two goals up it was almost as if all those negative thoughts came and drained every bit of confidence out of them.
"It's not right, but that is what happened."
He added: "These United players at this moment in time felt as though they wanted support, Luke Shaw has said he feels United need players.
"Good players, really good players, don't mind other good players coming into the dressing room. Liverpool players would have grown 10 foot tall when Thiago came in because they knew they would have been made stronger by a great player coming in.
"These Manchester United players expected to get some help. They have not helped themselves today because their own reputations have been damaged by a performance that was nowhere near good enough, but the off the pitch stuff doesn't help."
