Former Liverpool skipper Jamie Redknapp reckons Manchester United are "too nice" under the leadership of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
And the Sky Sports pundit fears a "holiday camp" atmosphere will be in effect with the under-fire Norwegian fighting to save his job.
Redknapp even believes Solskjaer will have doubts about his own validity in the wake of the 5-0 beatdown at the hands of Liverpool.
That watershed result brought to a head a season undermined by slapstick defending that has every team believing they can unlock the Old Trafford rearguard.
And Redknapp is convinced the issues stem from a lack of leadership behind the scenes that is resulting in under-par displays for Manchester United on the pitch.
Speaking to the Essential Football Podcast, he said: "I've been in dressing rooms before when things aren't working for the manager and that's what it looks like to me. It looks like that dressing room, in the kindest way, it feels like it would be a bit of a holiday camp. I can't imagine Solskjaer is going in there pointing his finger telling players what they've got to do.
"Everything just seems too nice. Players are getting away with things and that's a recipe for disaster in football.
"They've bought themselves a bit of time but if they lose against Tottenham and then lose a couple more games, I'm sorry, but he can't stay.
"It's difficult because it's Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, of course he's a well-respected figure at the club. I said two years ago, it's going to be like shooting Bambi. But you have to sometimes look at what's best for the team.
"Even he will look at it and go, 'I can't keep my job under these circumstances'. The club have spent an enormous amount of money since he's been there, they've brought in great players and now they still look miles off."
