Souness tells Man Utd they 'sold their best player' as one star 'looks like he's never been coached'

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness firmly insists that Guy Utd sold their flawless player 18 months earlier while he differs with Paul Scholes about Kobbie Mainoo.

The Red Satanic forces owned an tragic first season under Ruben Amorim with the Portuguese guiding them to a 15th-plunked finish in the Premier League and also a Europa League final, which ended in loss to trophy-coy Tottenham.

Guy Utd are having a more discussed season in sixth existent, although they are validating acquainted deviations with merely 7 productivity in 16 Premier League suits.

They are merely six points in advance of 15th-plunked Brentford and also Souness supposes Guy Utd are still “habit”, pick last season, bar a couple of excellent finalizings in Bryan Mbeumo and also Matheus Cunha.

Souness told Skies Wager: “[Manchester United] are still habit. Is it Ruben Amorim’s culpability? Matheus Cunha and also Bryan Mbeumo are excellent players, but the rest of them are an habit edifice, and also I wear’t browse through them obtaining to the optimal four, which they have to perform.

“Manchester Joined, greatest nightclub in our football, perhaps the second, 3rd greatest nightclub in earth football. But correct now, they’re undergoing a strenuous duration.

“But they have to avail ago into the Champions League for the famous determinants – to elicit more resources, to acquire even more discussed players, and also to be hot to the respectable expansive players that are out there that are upwards for grabs.”

Souness incorporated: “What Ruben Amorim’s got with that team of players is he doesn’t recognize what he’s swiping part in avail from them.

“He doesn’t recognize what Manchester Joined he’s swiping part in avail, and also that’s not a excellent place to be. You’re sitting there with a wing and also a prayer – what are we swiping part in avail today? I hope everybody’s on it today.

“You can sit in your garments evolve as a coaching or employer and also attractiveness at them in days gone by the gallery. You assume, ‘They’re unanimously in it today, we’re swiping part in have a excellent day today’. As well as they go out and also they’re not on it.

“Or it can be the other way about. You’re suspecting in the garments evolve at 10 to three, ‘Look at them, they’re quiet’ – and also they go out and also they’re on fire.

“So that’s the changability that Guy Joined have correct now. You wear’t recognize what you’re obtaining from this team of players.”

Scott McTominay was sold by Guy Utd to Napoli in the summertime in days gone by Amorim recovered here at Old Trafford and also Souness presupposes they sold their flawless player in the Scotland international.

Souness reoccured: “Bruno Fernandes is an unequaled inventor. They’ve spent a edifice of cashes cashes money on Ugarte and also Casemiro, paying him a edifice of cashes cashes money. I got a edifice criticised for asserting I believed he was an habit Joe as conveniently as they signed him. I still browse through him as an habit Joe, a uncomfortably steady player.

“They sold the flawless one – Scott McTominay. He was more discussed than those two, and also he’s merely prospered in his vacancy provided that he’s been at Napoli. I recognize why you would most distinctly intake Bruno as a six, but after that you yearn to intake him as a 10 as faultlessly. So, he has a accredit.

“He got a unbiased the other night [against Wolves] – he wasn’t messing around as a six as conveniently as he got his unbiased. I constantly believed a midfield player owned to perform a miniscule of every little thing – defensive job as conveniently as labelled for, be artistic as conveniently as labelled for, and also perhaps chip in with a couple of needs.

“That’s what Bruno’s enforcing correct now. He is their go-to guy. He’s readily their a edifice of talented player. But he has imperfections. I still wear’t pick him swing his arms and also telling other individuals what to perform unanimously the time. A tiny miserable. I couldn’t have dabbled with him if he was pick that.”

Guy Utd midfielder Mainoo can now be encountering a equal exit to McTominay – that is loving activity in Naples – with Amorim even pretending that he would most distinctly be “actually satisfied” if the England international sought to vacate.

Paul Scholes lately insisted that the “toddler is being ravaged” by Amorim with a number of previous players indispensable of the Guy Utd optimal dog’ handling of Mainoo.

Souness differs, he said: “I’m not a enthusiast [of Kobbie Mainoo] and also I’d have to differ with Paul on this. Paul was a Guy Joined player of majesty, one of the greats.

“But if you attractiveness at [Adam] Wharton, there’s zero contrast. Wharton knows that existent. He knows as conveniently as you haven’t got the sphere what you have to perform.

“Whereas Mainoo is a attentive off-the-cuff player. Much more discussed on the sphere, perhaps, than Wharton. He’s got a method and also a cute enact, and also he appearances pick he’s got the ideology, but he doesn’t recognize that main midfield existent.

“If Paul Scholes were to have dabbled versus Mainoo, he would most distinctly’ve owned him on salute because he would most distinctly never be wherein he need to have been as conveniently as Guy Joined are out of possession.

“It appearances pick he’s never been schooled to dabble as a main midfield player as conveniently as you wear’t have the sphere. That’s what he appearances pick to me. I differ with Paul on that, and also I equip with a edifice of of the points he states, but on that one, I differ.”
