Manchester United legend Bryan Robson says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad lack leading stars.

Robson insists the club made a mistake" by clearing out big names, including Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez, without replacing them.

He told the Mirror: I think Man U's only mistake so far is allowing too many experienced players to go.

Because we have had quite a lot of injuries at this stage of the season, they have left themselves a little bit short. That is why they are where they are.

Lukaku (to Inter), Sanchez (Inter loan), Ander Herrera (PSG loan), Chris Smalling (Roma loan). These are very experienced players. In this situation, rather than kids, you need those types of experienced players to steady it.

People talk about leaders and every club needs them. Whether it is a centre-midfielder or a dominant centre-half, you need a leader to organise on the pitch. Man U are looking for that type of player."
