Former Liverpool midfielder and football analyst Graeme Souness has shared a blunt assessment of Manchester United’s current squad, saying the team has only two players who rise above being “average.” His comments have sparked debate among fans, especially as the Premier League season becomes more competitive.

According to Souness, the lack of consistent quality across the squad makes it difficult for Manchester United to compete with the league’s strongest sides. He argued that top clubs usually have several match-winners, while United rely too heavily on a few individuals to make a difference.

The former Scotland international also questioned the team’s ability to finish in the Premier League’s top four. He believes rivals like Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and others are more balanced and better prepared to sustain strong performances over a long season.

Souness’ remarks add to the growing pressure on Manchester United to improve results and squad depth. While some supporters disagree with his assessment, others feel it reflects the club’s struggles to regain dominance in English football.
