Football legend Graeme Souness has hit out at Manchester United's underperforming stars.
The Red Devils suffered another embarrassing defeat on Monday when they were beaten 4-0 by Crystal Palace, heaping even more pressure on under-fire boss Erik Ten Hag.
Fingers have also pointed at some of United's established names, and talking on William Hill’s new podcast, Three Up Front, Souness singled out big-money signings Casemiro and Raphael Varane as two players who he's never been impressed with.
“I have never thought Casemiro was someone you paid money to watch play football,” said Souness.
“Yes, you can point at all the medals he has won, but he was a bit-part player in a very special team. I never saw him as being the difference when he came to United – he’s just okay.
“He’s not a big player. It’s the same with Raphael Varane, if you don’t have something to offer, Real Madrid will sell you. They sold them both to Man United, paying a premium on top of a premium because it’s the Premier League and because of the nature of the club.
“It’s a football decision which I feel they got wrong again. I think Casemiro has been found out. If you’re a big player and you’ve got the opportunity to go to Man United, you’re going to take it because you’ll be thinking, ‘I can make them better’.”
