Former Liverpool and Scotland star Graeme Souness believes only David de Gea and Cristiano Ronaldo can emerge with any credit from what has been a wretched season for Manchester United.
Souness made the admission ahead of United's trip to Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening. The Reds entered the clash on the south coast five points shy of the top four with just two games left to play.
United, despite investing heavily in the squad last summer, bringing Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho and Ronaldo to the club, have failed to live up to expectations. They have produced far too many uninspiring performances and face the strong likelihood of missing out on Champions League football for next season.
