Manchester United FA Cup winner Paul McGrath says they've lost their fear factor.
McGrath wrote for the Sunday World: "When I was a Manchester United player, the team was feared.
"Nobody liked 90 minutes playing against the red wave that would come at teams relentlessly.
"Now Manchester United too often turn in milk-and-water displays, such as that at Brighton at the AMEX on Thursday night where there was no fire evident, no drive, no passion.
"Instead of showing those qualities, United's players were like those of a mid-table team whose minds were already 'on the beach' at this point of the season.
"Remember, this is a club that still needs two wins to nail down a Champions League place for next season.
"Ok, they lost the match in a daft way, but no one could argue against the idea Brighton were the better team on the night.
"What was Luke Shaw thinking of? This is a footballer who has played in European finals for club and country. Shaw was not a teenage debutant, panicking in the last seconds of a game."
