EPL: They’ve given up – Stuart Pearce slams Manchester United players

Former Manchester City manager, Stuart Pearce has hit out at Manchester United players after their recent Champions League 4-3 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Pearce said that Manchester United players are already downing their tools and were lucky that Bayern Munich were not more clinical during the encounter.

“United are under the cosh because too many of their players have jacked it in. Rashford half running back and Casemiro half running back,” Pearce told talkSPORT.

“I’m not sure what Onana said when he had a rant at Maguire in the summer, but now is the time to have a rant at the back line, not just the back line but the whole team.

“Too many players have given up the ghost and that is alarming. United are so off the pace and they are lucky that Bayern have not been more clinical.

“Too wide open, too regularly. Their goal to come back to 3-2 was a false dawn. They conceded four and that is what they deserved. As silly as it sounds, the score flatters United.”

Man United will hope they get back to winning ways when they face Burnley in an away Premier League tie on Saturday.
