Sky Sports pundit Danny Murphy criticised Manchester United’s latest display in Europe on Tuesday, insisting the team is ‘lacking tempo’.
The Red Devils qualified for the knockout phase of the Champions League by beating Young Boys 1-0 at Old Trafford, thanks to an injury-time strike from Marouane Fellaini.
Jose Mourinho’s men are now guaranteed to finish in the top two in Group H alongside Juventus, who also picked up a 1-0 home win on the night against Valencia.
However, United’s performance against the Swiss outfit was by no means impressive, as they once again struggled to break down their opponents while also conceding several guilt-edge chances at the back.
According to ex-Premier League midfielder Murphy, the home side were ‘lucky’ to emerge victorious and he has called into question the team’s overall lack of urgency and fitness.
“You’re better being there and playing badly than playing well and not being there but it’s Manchester United football club and the level of the performance is not what the fans want to see,” he told
Sky Sports.
