He believes that they lack a certain “swagger” and accuses Mourinho of coaching it out of them.
The former United defender believes that United has to change their philosophy and Mourinho has to leave the team for that to happen.
Here’s what he told talkSPORT: “There has been so much poor football.
“Performances have been poor and too many people are out there saying he is a winner and it is just about winning. Manchester United are not just about winning.
“They’re about a style, the manner they win in. It is about a swagger. They are not doing that anymore. That has been taken away from them, that has been virtually coached out of them.
“There is no self-expression anymore, they do not improvise.
“You are paying players millions and millions and still trying to control them. That does not make sense for a club like Manchester United.
“At the end of the day, Manchester United have to change. Their style of play is not going to change while Jose Mourinho is in charge.
“It is the way in which he manages which is pulling the players down.”
