Jamie Carragher has identified Manchester United's midfield as a potential area of weakness this season.
Whilst the signing of Donny van de Beek and Bruno Fernandes' form last season led many to believe midfield would be an area of strength for the Reds this season, their campaign started with a disappointing defeat to Crystal Palace at the weekend.
Carragher believes the attacking nature of United's midfield will make it easier for teams to hit them on the break.
"Towards the end of last season United were playing really well and they'll get back to that," Carragher told Sky Sports on Monday night. "I'm not convinced this team, who have now become a more possession-based team since Fernandes has come in, Pogba is in centre of midfield, the more possession you have the more chance you can get counter-attacked, that midfield for me is not right.
"You've got Van de Beek in the No. 10 who came on, Fernandes went back. I think that team will be far too easy to counter-attack against."
He added: "This is Crystal Palace - good as a counter-attacking team but don't have some of the quality that some of the top teams have at the top end of the pitch.
"And if I'm proven wrong I'll come on this show and say so but for me, with the (lack of) pace at centre back and how open they are in the centre of midfield - Manchester United are going to have a real problem stopping teams counter-attacking."
