Merson: 'Man United terrible to watch'

Former Arsenal forward Paul Merson has said that Manchester United have been "terrible to watch" this season.

United are currently second in the Premier League table, but suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat to the league's basement side West Bromwich Albion on Sunday afternoon.

That result saw Manchester City crowned English champions with five matches to spare, and Merson has criticised United's style of football this season.

"It was too slow. It's not been good. They've been terrible to watch, and they've got enough attacking flair. It's not like you're sat there thinking: 'Who can they bring on here?'" Merson told Sky Sports News.

United will look to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they travel to Bournemouth on Wednesday night, before taking on Tottenham Hotspur in the semi-finals of the FA Cup this weekend.

The Red Devils have been victorious in 22 of their 33 league fixtures this season - drawing five times and losing six.
