Manchester United players ‘not good enough or don’t care’ – Pundits react to derby defeat

Manchester United Legend and Pundit Peter Schmeichel



Peter Schmeichel was just one of many Manchester United legends horrified at their 4-1 derby defeat at Manchester City.

Kevin de Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez scored twice each in a City masterclass, with Jadon Sancho having levelled for Ralf Rangnick's United at 1-1.

United were completely outclassed, only forcing Ederson into one save, and could have lost by more - Phil Foden hitting the post with one of their many chances.

Former United goalkeeper Schmeichel, who also played for City, was watching the game for BBC Radio 5 Live and said: "I thought Rangnick should have changed things at half-time. He may have had words, but the second half was worse. At no point were United in the game apart from on the scoreline.

"Far too many players are either not good enough, or don't care enough. Having an interim manager means he can't do much. He knows he's not going to be there, so what can he change?

"Manchester City were majestic, but they haven't had to work that hard for it and I think that will hurt United most." (BBC)
