Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath has branded his old team an "embarrassment" after their 4-0 drubbing at Brentford.

McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "All that is wrong about Manchester United right now was summed up by the hideous green kit they wore at Brentford yesterday.

"United are now just a money-making racket - and if they happen to play good football along the way, well that's great.

"If they don't play good football, well they make money anyway.

"The United Board have indulged four managers over the last nine years with £1billion of spending power in the transfer market without any coherent philosophy.

"So you get the team that turned up at at Brentford yesterday.

"Frankly, it looked more like the team was put together for £1million or even just a quid itself.

"Like, what are United supposed to be about now.

"Everyone knows that Liverpool simply don't touch any player who is not completely clued in to Jurgen Klopp's idea of 'gegenpressing'.

"Anyone going to Spurs knows that manager Antonio Conte will demand every drop of sweat you have.

"Where is Manchester United's equivalent? What do they stand for?

"As far as I can see it is just to buy up players – Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba and Cristiano Ronaldo are three examples – to stop Manchester City grabbing them.

"Last night was a complete embarrassment to Manchester United football club."
