Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood claims that there is "so much divide in the Manchester United camp".

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Tim Sherwood has claimed that there is "so much divide in the Manchester United camp", with the Red Devils in disarray ahead of Sunday's trip to Liverpool in the Premier League.

United, who suffered a 2-1 defeat to Valencia in the Champions League on Wednesday night, are currently sixth in the Premier League table, some 16 points off leaders Liverpool, whom they visit this weekend.

Sherwood has said that United boss Jose Mourinho can call upon a number of "world-class players", but there is "so much split" at Old Trafford, according to the former midfielder.

"Jose's got to try and find a different way because it's not working at the moment," Sherwood told Sky Sports News. "The players he's got at his disposal there want to go on the front foot.

They're world-class players... they've got [Paul] Pogba, [Romelu] Lukaku, [Juan] Mata, [David] de Gea, they've got world-class players. Paul Pogba looks like a Championship player, but he's won the World Cup. He needs to say, 'go on, have a go at this Liverpool side. I trust you'.

"But there's so much split, there's so much divide in the Manchester United camp from the top, to Jose to his players. They're all going in different directions."

Only five teams have conceded more Premier League goals than United (26) at this stage of the 2018-19 campaign.
