Manchester United legend, Rio Ferdinand, has singled out three players for criticism following their 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest on Tuesday night.
Anthony Elanga scored a stunning solo goal in the fifth minute to give the hosts all three points.
The result also boosts Forest's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League.
United, meanwhile, remains in 13th place on the table and are starring at their first bottom-half finish in 35 years.
Elanga, who left the Red Devils in a £15million deal in 2023, picked up the ball from inside his own half before running 85 metres in nine seconds and slotting past Andre Onana.
Ferdinand, speaking on TNT Sports, pointed the finger at three United players who could have stopped him.
He criticised Patrick Dorgu, Alejandro Garnacho, and Noussair Mazraoui for allowing Elanga run through.
“I think there's three moments where they could have maybe stopped this goal. I think, first of all, it's a wonderful goal from Elanga, and you can't take anything away from him in that sense.
“But when you're looking for a defensive point of view, Elanga on the edge of the box there. Dorgu's got to be goal-side. You've got to think defensively first. You know the threat is pace. Be in a better position to stop that. Then he's behind, he's chasing, can't get back.
“And Garnacho has a role to play here. You should take him out, foul him there. You've got to foul him there. Take him out. You can see the pace; you can see the support he has.
“And Mazraoui's got to make a decision. Before he gets into that box, you've got to go and engage the attacking player there. Go into the box, get closer to goal. Elanga dispatches,” Ferdinand said.
