Neil Warnock rips apart Man Utd trio Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez

Cardiff boss Neil Warnock has launched a stinging attack on Manchester United's big-name stars.

The relegated Bluebirds dealt United the final blow of the season with a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

United finished a dismal campaign in sixth in the Premier League and Warnock has warned they are a long way off the pace.

And he believes the likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Alexis Sanchez are part of the problem at Old Trafford.

“United have got to go the way it looks they might be going, even though that’s expensive, and that is to bring in the best young players,” Warnock told talkSPORT .

“They’ve done the other way, they’ve spent £300m or £400m on players who are supposed to be world stars, and yet they haven’t got a team. They haven’t got a team at all."

Asked if he would move out the United trio, Warnock added: "Oh, absolutely. I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.”

United are closing in on the signing of Daniel James from Swansea and Warnock believes they should be looking to bring in more young talents.

“If they bring the young lads they’re talking about bringing in, they can mould them and I think fans will accept 100 per cent effort from young lads," he added.

“Rashford would have to play up front because he’s just the best there is when he’s playing up front.

“There are one or two decent players they’re looking at, like the lad from Swansea. They need to spend £15m or £20m on them to bring these young lads in.

“Ole and the hierarchy have got to realise that is the way forward for Manchester United , because they’re a long way behind.”
