Former Arsenal midfielder, Paul Merson, has said Manchester United must finish in the Premier League top four this season.
The Red Devils suffered a shock 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace on Saturday.
It means Palace are now higher in the Premier League table than United, who have taken just nine points from their first seven games.
Merson, who was watching the game on Soccer Saturday, felt United’s play in the final third was too static.
He said: “I feel like when you’re watching Man Utd, it’s like watching Subbuteo. You blow the whistle to kick-off and at half-time, everyone is in exactly the same position as they were when they started the game. There’s no movement.
“When you manage big football clubs, you’re under pressure and you’re under more pressure when the neighbours win. If they [Man City] had won today, then it really cranks up… it’s a must for them to get into the top four this season.”
