have become slow, pragmatic, boring and Juan Lagares Jersey dated under Jose Mourinho, claims former Red Devils winger Lee Sharpe.
The Red Devils have won few admirers for their brand of football since seeing the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson slip into retirement.
David Moyes oversaw a humbling fall from grace, while Louis van Gaal was considered to be far too conservative for the Old Trafford faithful.
Mourinho has put United back into contention for major honours, but which stands in stark contrast to the attacking philosophies being embraced at arch rivals Manchester City and Liverpool.
Sharpe told PA Sport on the clubs current position, with silverware having eluded them in 2017-18: "For me it was a pretty disappointing season and not entertaining enough Tom Seaver Jersey .
"There are clubs with certain identities and United have never been a 1-0 team that sits back and rests on its laurels.
"You've got the blue side of Manchester under Pep Guardiola , you've got Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool playing some of the best Jose Bautista Jersey football in the league and United are playing slow, pragmatic, boring and even dated football.
"Maybe it's time Mourinho rea se s things tactically New York Mets Jersey .
"He's been one of the most succe sful managers in the game over 10-12 years, trophies everywhere he's gone, so I can understand him saying, 'I'm doing it my way'.
"But times have changed and if it doesn't start well next season he could find himself under pre Jay Bruce Jersey sure from the fans."
Liverpool also ended the season empty-handed, having come unstuck in the Champions League final, but Sharpe feels the football on offer at Anfield will be making United supporters envious.
"Who wouldn't be?" added the ex-England international.
"Liverpool play on the front foot, they're entertaining Mike Piazza Jersey , they're exciting and they score a load of goals.
"The play like we used to. They're not a team to settle on a 1-0 scoreline, they chase games. Yes, they'll give a couple of results away and concede goals but they're attack-minded and that's why they got to the Champions League final."
