Liverpool great John Aldridge has slammed Manchester United's players.

In his column for the Sunday World, Aldridge says the attitude and effort of United's players just isn't good enough.

He said: "If you look at the Premier League table, United appear to be in a pretty decent position ten games into their season, but you get a very different impression when you watch them in action.

"They pass the ball slowly, they lack the commitment to close teams down, they are sleepy at the back at times and make far too many basic errors.

"These are highly paid international players, who continue to make the same mistakes, and while I have thought from day one Solskjaer is not the manager to turn things around for United, the attitude inside that dressing room has been a problem for a long time.

"Louis van Gaal and Jose Mourinho know how to get football teams working and they failed to enjoy long-term progress at United, so it is asking a lot of a managerial novice like Solskjaer to succeed where they failed."

Aldridge was speaking before United's Champions League elimination by RB Leipzig last night.
