English commentator and former player Jamie Carragher lashed out at the Manchester United star players for talking on the pitch following their heavy drubbing at the hands of Crystal Palace in their Premier League encounter on Monday (May 6). In their away encounter, United were left shellshocked as they lost 4-0 to Palace as the ongoing PL season continues to be a sorry affair for them.
Post the match, United star players — namely Mason Mount, Andre Onana and Antony — were seen talking and whispering on the pitch which wasn't well received by former Liverpool player-turned-commentator Carragher. The veteran schooled the United players for their 'embarrassing' act.
Talking on Sky Sports, Carragher said, «Just get off the pitch! Talking, whispering behind your hand — you've been absolutely awful. You're probably talking about one of the players or somebody else or the setup or the manager. Just get off the pitch, shut up and get in. You've been beaten 4-0… whispering, talking about other players. Honestly, embarrassing.»
'No United team should be getting beat 4-0 by Palace'
Carragher further opined, «Your performance level will drop when you lose your best players. Ten Hag needs performances. He needs belief. You've got to make us believe there's something here. I struggled to see how United would win tonight. No United team should be getting beat 4-0 by Palace. Man United's U23 team, I'd still expect them not to lose 4-0.»
He added, «I've never been a coach or a manager, but I've been a player and some of the things I see are just wrong.»
