Former Manchester United and Ireland captain Roy Keane claimed it was "sad" to watch his old club in such "disarray" after their 4-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Mohamed Salah's two goals and strikes from Luis Diaz and Sadio Mane put an abject United side to the sword on Tuesday night.
Keane, predictably, did not hold back and singled out the performances of Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Harry Maguire for particular criticism.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the Corkman said: "It's not anger, now I think it’s just sadness. You look at the United team, there’s no heart, no soul, no leaders.
"They are so far off. You look at the United fans tonight, there’s no surprise at the scoreline. They kept going until the end, but you just felt Liverpool could score every time they went forward.
"There’s just disarray at the club from the top, the board, the fans have no time for the owners. They need a new manager. They need players in, they need players out.
"It’s so sad to see and it’s not the club I played for. It’s chalk and cheese. I don’t see a Manchester United team out there fighting and playing with pride."
"There is no team at Man United"
After hearing United midfielder Bruno Fernandes apologise to the travelling fans for their abject performance, Keane responded: "We're hearing the same stuff all the time. 'We need to be a team, we need to do better’. But we’re not seeing it. There is no team at Man United.
"They are individuals and when they fancy it, they turn up. But when the going gets tough… they’re out of it. They haven’t got the team spirit.
"This Man United team is well short of talent anyway. They’re not as talented as they think. Look at the midfield tonight.
"Jesse Lingard comes on to try and save Man United? Jesse Lingard should have left two years ago. He’s not good enough. Rashford played like a child up front.
"Defensively? We were trying to help out (Harry) Maguire before the match, give him a bit of PR. But the last goal? Maguire’s passing and defending, not acceptable and not good enough for Man United."
Former Reds midfielder Graeme Souness claimed not a single United player would get into the Liverpool team.
He said: "Under pressure Manchester United just couldn't keep the ball. If you come to Anfield and want any chance of getting a result you have to be able to keep the ball and they just couldn’t do that.
"This is a truly fabulous Liverpool team and they are on the brink of true greatness.
"There isn’t a Manchester United player that would get in this Liverpool team.
"Good luck to the new manager. Where do you start with that lot?"
Keane's ex-team-mate Gary Neville claimed a number of the current squad are "broken".
"It was a sobering evening. We expected it, Not one Manchester United fan came here tonight with any hope whatsoever," Neville said.
"Maybe half-an-hour before kick-off you're thinking, 'Could something happen?’ But nothing. That team’s got nothing.
"There’s some decent players on that pitch. There’s some talent. I can’t explain how it’s gone from slightly promising at the end of last season, finishing second, to the point where we are today, which is an all-time low in my 42 years of watching United.
"There’s some lads out there who are probably really good lads. Good professionals, good careers, good talent. But they are broken. They’re finished, they’re done this season."
