Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has blasted the players during their 1-1 draw with Newcastle.
United went in at the interval 1-0 down against Eddie Howe's side at St James' Park on Monday night after Allan Saint-Maximin punished a defensive mistake from Raphael Varane, before Edinson Cavani equalised to rescue a 1-1 draw.
Neville said: "You don't want to go overboard, they've been off for 16 days, new manager, trying to get used to a new system. The balance in the side isn't right. But I was worried after Norwich, there's no pressing, there was no urgency, the basics of the game, every single battle they've lost.
"That's been a really poor performance, that. Honestly. They've not done one single thing right as a team, not one single player can go in and say they've done their jobs, or even done themselves justice. No positives. Nothing.
"There are still basics of the game you can do properly. Win your battles, go in for tackles properly, show a bit of urgency, look like it matters."
And Neville blasted the side's mentality and body language on the pitch, insisting the blame for the performance lay with the players rather than the boss.
He added: "They're whinging at each other! They're a bunch of whingebags! A bunch of whingebags! Watch them on that pitch, arms up in the air, complaining about everything! Honestly, they're absolutely shocking out there in that first half.
"They got the last manager the sack! Ralf Rangnick is not going to get the sack, he's only had a few weeks with them, but they'll get a lot of managers the sack, that lot, if they carry on like that. They've got to sort themselves out because it's massively below what's expected.
"They've played the two teams at the bottom of the league, and they've shown us nothing! Nothing to do with the manager, by the way. It's to do with the players out on the pitch. Not good enough."
