Former Manchester United winger Andrei Kanchelskis has slammed Louis van Gaal's tactics.
"I was at the stadium and I was surprised how disgustingly United played in the first half. A lot of ball control but no sharpness at all.
"It’s in the history and tradition of Man United to play wide and be sharp at the flanks but there is nothing like this now.
"Van Gaal is too pragmatic, his footballers play like robots," Kanchelskis told Sport Express. "They are kept within a strict framework, they are not allowed to improvise, contrary to what Ferguson allowed us to do. "He says that the transformation is going on, but I still couldn’t understand what he is looking for. "There is an impression that he doesn’t know what he wants. No creative players, no wingers. Nobody could serve Wayne Rooney. "The current Manchester is not the same as it was under Ferguson."
