Alan Shearer<\/a> has blasted Manchester United<\/a>\u2019s \u2018hopeless\u2019 and \u2018pathetic\u2019 attempts against Everton<\/a> with Diogo Dalot<\/a> and Bruno Fernandes coming in for stinging criticism.<\/p>\n

United turned in a dismal first-half display at Goodison Park<\/a> on Saturday, two goals down after 33 minutes after some calamitous moments from the away side.<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim\u2019s side were disorganised and passive throughout the opening 45 with Shearer stunned by how poor United were in their attempts to press the opposition.<\/p>\n

While United rescued a draw through second-half goals from Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte<\/a>, Shearer blasted Dalot for showing no interest in closing down the opposition with Fernandes also catching strays for his meek efforts.<\/p>\n

\u2018Watch Man United, this is pathetic, it really is,\u2019 Shearer told Match of the Day. \u2018You’ve got players who are walking.<\/p>\n

\u2018There’s no point in going in ones and twos, look at the space Everton have got to play in. Look at [Jack] Harrison, look at [James] Garner.<\/p>\n

\u2018Both wanting the ball, both wanting to receive the ball. And if they get it, Dalot is eight yards off. Why aren’t you one yard off and getting in a crunching tackle? Then the run of Garner at will, at ease.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\"Everton\t<\/div>
Fernandes helped rescue the draw but also came in for criticism (Picture: Getty)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u2018All of sudden they’re into your back three. Same thing again, you go from left to right, take two touches, three touches, pick your head up, pick your pass, go wherever you want because it’s so easy for you, because no one’s working.\u2019<\/p>\n

He continued: \u2018I’m not sure they know what they’re doing in there. Look at the effort or lack of it. Everton’s second goal is the worst one of the lot.<\/p>\n

\u2018Watch this from Bruno Fernandes, when Doucoure gets the ball. Seriously, is that the best you can do in closing down?<\/p>\n

\u2018So the difference between the two teams and for 72 minutes Man United were hopeless. I look at some of the players and they’re really struggling with what the manager wants and needs.\u2019<\/p>\n

Amorim gave his own brutal assessment of United\u2019s first-half display, insisting they \u2018didn\u2019t exist\u2019 until the second period.<\/p>\n

\u2018We managed to recover second half. But we didn\u2019t exist in the first half, so the feeling is disappointed,\u2019 Amorim said.<\/p>\n

\u2018Not with the point, not with the recovery, but we need to play both halves to compete in the best way because at this moment we need to win.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
