Mikel John Obi has blamed the current players at Manchester United for the club’s recent poor run of form.
The former Chelsea midfielder believes that the players are far from being good enough to compete in the league.
He also added that the players are horrendous and painful to watch.
Mikel Obi made these remarks in the latest episode of his podcast – The Obi One Podcast.
While the former Chelsea star heaped blame on the players, he exonerated the coach Ruben Amorim as he tagged him as a “brilliant manager.”
“Even if you’re not a United fan, it’s AWFUL to watch them. They’re horrendous. Newcastle would’ve been 3-0 up in 20 minutes. It was a disaster.
“Listen, it’s not the manager’s fault at all. Ruben Amorim is a fantastic and brilliant young manager.
“I’ve said it when he came into the club – the players in United, I’m sorry, they are NOWHERE good enough to be playing for Manchester United.”
Manchester United have lost their last four matches and face an uphill task as they visit Liverpool at Anfield in their next Premier League fixture.
The Red Devils are currently 14th on the Premier League log with 22 points after 19 matches.
