“The fans are fed up with it” – Dean Saunders hits out at Manchester United stars for ‘cheap’ talk 

Dean Saunders has slammed Manchester United players for post-match interviews and social media apologies after a series of poor performances. Saunders said that the 'fans are fed up' with the 'cheap' talks and that the players should start putting up performances instead.

Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford have expressed Manchester United's overall mindset since the arrival of German interim manager Ralf Rangnick. Maguire said it is difficult to adjust when the coaching team changes mid-season but the players trust the process started by Rangnick.

“His detail and preparation are enormous, we have full respect and trust in his methods. Yes, it’s difficult when the coaching team changes mid-season like it does at loads of clubs. Every club has issues, not just us, and some of their issues are much bigger than ours. But yes, it does come with the territory at United," said Maguire.

Saunders dragged out Luke Shaw for his comments after the 1-0 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Old Trafford last week. Shaw questioned the commitment of the Manchester United players on the pitch and accepted that at times they had no clue who to pass the ball to.

Commenting upon Shaw's comments, the former Liverpool player told talkSPORT:

"I have seen Luke Shaw's interview after the game talking about how 'we are not motivated', you are playing for Man United number one and motivation comes from inside yourself."

Saunders also advised Harry Maguire to start performing on the pitch as fans are 'fed up' with the cheap talks.

Speaking about the Manchester United captain, Saunders said:

"Talk is cheap. Harry Maguire's talk is cheap. The crowd are fed up of listening to it, do your talking on the pitch and stop their strikers scoring Harry every game, get some clean sheets, get the team around you."

Saunders further added:

"As a pro you motivate yourself, you are getting paid a lot of money and you are going out there to get the better of your opponent every game. You motivate yourself, especially playing for Manchester United playing in front of them supporters.''

Saunders advised Shaw to show some intensity on the pitch instead of talking about it in post-match interactions.

"Then he talks about how 'we are not together as a group' and then he said there was 'no intensity'. Well Luke, instead of talking on the TV show some intensity when Traore was taking you on and crossing the ball into our box in the 85th minute. Why didn't you show some intensity then?"
