Manchester United's 'inconsistent' performances are on the players, NOT Erik ten Hag, insists Chris Sutton on It's All Kicking Off... and our man is standing by his assessment that the dressing room is full of SNAKES

Manchester United's alarming performances must fall at the door of their players, rather than Erik ten Hag, believes Chris Sutton.

Pressure is intensifying on the Dutchman after United were humbled with a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth on Saturday.

But Sutton - who labelled United's players as 'snakes' on last week's episode of It's All Kicking Off - is standing by his assessment that the players are the ones to blame.

'This has been a club who have won everything,' Sutton said. 'They were the dominant force in English football for such a long period of time with a manager at the helm who had serious clout and, you know, maybe the players feared him a little bit.
