The six Manchester United stars failing the club named and shamed by Gary Neville

Gary Neville has named and shamed six Manchester United stars he reckons are letting the club down.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's side were thumped 4-0 by Everton on Sunday as the Red Devils' miserable run of form continued.

They remain in the hunt for a top four finish in the Premier League and a place in next season's Champions League .

But United failed to manage a single shot on goal and they've been widely slaughtered in the aftermath.

And now Neville has named the group of stars he believes should be doing much more, reports The Mirror .

He told Sky Sports: "There are five forwards at that club: Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Romelu Lukaku, Alexis Sanchez and Paul Pogba – who is nearer to the front.

"Star players, those five, they can be the best in their position, but all of them in this moment in time are well below their standard.

"Alexis Sanchez… I don't know what's happened to him. Marcus Rashford, this couple of weeks, has been nowhere near [his best].

"I went to both Barcelona games. Marcus looks off it at the moment. Whether he's carrying an injury. something is not right, or the season has caught up with him.

"Romelu Lukaku – he doesn't turn up in a big game. That's been levelled at him for a number of years now.

"Paul Pogba looks like he's back to the Paul Pogba that was playing under Jose Mourinho, even though he’s been outstanding for the past three months.

"And Martial he's just come back from injury, but he looks like he's back in that sort of ambling mood again.

"De Gea looks nothing like, he looks distracted. You've got contract talks that are going on between five or six players, which is distracting at this time."
