Former Chelsea midfielder Gus Poyet has called on people to stop criticising Manchester United's most recent managers and to start pointing the blame at the players for the club's current decline.
United's hopes of finishing inside the top-four this season suffered another setback after losing the Manchester derby 4-1 to City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday. The Reds are now fifth in the table, one point behind Arsenal, who have three games in hand.
The defeat to City was another reminder of just how far United are behind their rivals and how quickly they need the summer to arrive to carry out the rebuilding job that needs to take place. As well as changes being needed in the squad, the club also needs to appoint Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's permanent replacement.
