Alan Shearer had a few stern words for Manchester United's current squad following their 1-0 defeat to Newcastle United. The former Newcastle star said the team had too many "bad eggs" in it and the full-backs were left exposed due to lack of effort from their teammates.
Shearer expressed his dissatisfaction with the performance of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, saying they "didn't look interested" in helping out their defenders. He pointed to several instances in the match where the two were caught out.
"Rashford is nowhere near him [Livramento], it is too easy, there is not enough effort from him at all there," Shearer said. He also noted that Garnacho offered little support to his full-back.
Shearer concluded that there was a serious attitude problem among the group and that there weren't enough characters in the team. "For me, there are too many bad eggs in that Man United team. Too many bad attitudes," he said.
The result was largely due to the impressive performance of Newcastle duo Kieran Trippier and Tino Livramento. Trippier alone created six chances on the night, while the hosts dominated the entire game.
It's clear Shearer believes Manchester United need to do some soul-searching if they want to improve their performances and get back to their winning ways.
