He told ITV Sport: ” The performance against Spurs was disgraceful. We’ve all been in football, we’ve had bad days but i thought it was a disgrace to the badge some of the players’ performance. Too many bluffers.

“Ultimately, I think it will cost Ole his job. With the players he’s got there.

“I’ve said it before, they threw the previous manager [Mourinho] under the bus and they’ll do exactly the same to Ole.”

United would have a chance to bounce back to winning ways when they face Newcastle in the Premier League on October 17.
