DWIGHT YORKE has savaged Manchester United's current crisis-hit team by declaring: "I wouldn't want to play in it."
Eighth-place United are on course for their worst Premier League finish after 13 defeats this season - their biggest total of the modern era.
Erik ten Hag's side, who host title-chasing Arsenal tomorrow, suffered a humiliating 4-0 loss at Crystal Palace on Monday, which pushed the underfire United boss closer to the sack.
United legend Yorke, a hero of the club's historic 1999 Treble triumph, was asked if he would want to be a forward in Ten Hag's struggling side.
Yorke said: "I wouldn't want to play in it. It's whether you'd want to face that sort of aggro coming in.
"It's just knowing that there's a lack of creativity, a lack of passion and negative talk about the team.
"It's just a really bad place to be if you're a United player, not just a centre-forward."
Yorke's former United strike partner Andy Cole echoed his old team-mate, claiming the winning mentality and hunger that defined Alex Ferguson's 1999 team has gone.
