PAUL MERSON believes Manchester United are playing like a Subbuteo team after they endured a frustrating draw against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League.
The result means Louis van Gaal's side will need to win away in Wolfsburg to have any chance of securing a spot in the last 16 of the competition.
Despite sitting second in the Premier League, one point ahead of rivals Manchester City, fans have become angered with Louis van Gaal's style of play.
And former Arsenal striker Merson admitted he can understand the supporters discontent.
He told Sky Sports: "Unless you get movement and you get pace then you will struggle; I think for me it's a bit like watching a Subbuteo team at the moment watching Manchester United.
"But if you set your team up at kick-off and at half-time when the whistle blows everyone is still in them positions and that's exactly how it is for me at United at the minute.
"There's no movement, it's very, very mechanical, machine-like. Very hard to beat, but you either go one way or the other.
"To keep clean sheets like they are and score goals at the same time is a hard balance to get and at the moment they haven't got that.
"I'm one of their biggest critics but I'll give them one thing they have a bit of belly about them. When they don't play well they don't lose."
