Former Manchester United and Everton fullback John O'Kane says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his coaching staff are out of their depth.
O'Kane spoke out with Solskjaer under huge pressure, having managed just one win in his last four games in all competitions.
“We know Ole was brought in to appease the fans, because it was toxic under Jose Mourinho," said O'Kane to the Mirror.
“Ole has come in and he's a lovely guy - but he's not the manager for United. He's out of his depth.
“Look at the coaching staff he's got there – they're just not good enough.
“Mike Phelan is a top bloke, one of the nicest blokes I've met in football, but look where he's come from.
“Kieran McKenna, a former Under-18s coach, Michael Carrick – they're all learning on the job and this is the biggest club in the world."
O'Kane also accused Solskjaer of looking after himself with his team selections, rather than doing what is best for United.
“Since they got hammered 6-1 at home by Spurs last season, he's reverted to playing two defensive midfielders," said O'Kane. “The safe option. I call it self-preservation.
“They need a better manager in there, but all the fans love Ole, don't they?
“The Glazers are clever people, they've basically appointed a patsy who they know the fans will never go against."
