Man Utd players 'should be ashamed', says ex-Premier League player

United's return of five goals from their opening seven games of the season is the club's poorest in the Premier League era. Three of those goals came in one game at winless Southampton and Erik ten Hag's men have failed to find the net in three consecutive league games.

Manchester United scored the joint-fewest goals of any side who finished in the top half of the Premier League last season and still lack a clinical striker.

"I am trying to find the right words here. Everybody on the pitch today should be ashamed because Jonny Evans is the man of the match. Credit to him, he is 36. But everybody younger than him, next time, be better," Dimitar Berbatov told 'Sky Sports'.

"I think the criticism will continue to grow because United need to win to get the points. They are 14th in the table, which is unbelievable. The only thing to correct is getting the points but with the way they are playing at the moment that will be hard," he concluded.

Despite sitting 14th in the table, a point at high-flying Villa may be enough to keep Ten Hag in his job over the international break But the Dutchman desperately needs his forwards to find form if he is to last much longer in the Old Trafford hot seat.
