Tony Cascarino reckons Manchester United are the worst Premier League team to ever finish inside the top six, if they even manage to do so.

Ralf Rangnick has led United to their fifth consecutive trophyless season after replacing Ole Gunnar Solskjaer in December.

The Red Devils are currently sixth in the Premier League with a top-four finish now mathematically impossible.

Their 4-0 defeat at Brighton on Saturday has presented West Ham United with the opportunity to beat Rangnick’s side to a Europa League spot.

Incoming manager Erik ten Hag has a huge job on his hands and former Chelsea striker Cascarino believes it is useless to pinpoint single issues at the club.

He explained (via talkSPORT): “Man United have got everything wrong, so we can criticise them in many many ways.

“There’s loads of things that are wrong at United, it’s way more than just one thing, it’s lots of things, but one thing that you could add onto it is the transfers, the recruitment and the vast amounts of money that they’ve spent that has led to nowhere.

“What can you say, what can you add to what is a terrible team, you’ve got to break it up, you’ve got to rip it apart, you really have to.”

Cascarino believes United are the “worst team” he has ever seen finish inside the top six as he backs them to qualify for the Europa League.

He said: “They are the worst team that’s made the top six that I’ve ever seen, they’re going to get the sixth spot, they will get that.

“I can’t think of anyone poorer we’re talking about challenging for the top, forget the top, even Champions League, forget that, they’re not even close to that.

“But if you say even top six, I would easily put them as one of the worst top six teams I’ve ever seen.”
