Three Manchester United stars ‘do not work in the Premier League’ while playing Ruben Amorim’s system.

That is the opinion of former United full-back Danny Simpson after the Red Devils were embarrassed 3-0 by Manchester City in an emotionally-charged derby on Sunday.

Phil Foden and Erling Haaland got the goals at the Etihad, with United now winning just one of their opening five games of the season in all competitions.

The away side did start the game well but failed to generate many clear cut chances and after conceding the second goal, their heads dropped completely.

Few players could come away with any praise, with Simpson singling out three defenders who are ill suited to play under Amorim – one of whom wasn’t even in the matchday squad.
