Louis Saha has ripped into Manchester United and Andre Onana after a shocking first half display saw them go 2-0 down against Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup second round.
United endured a dismal 45 minutes at Blundell Park, with goals from Charles Vernam and Tyler Warren putting the League Two side on course for a major shock.
Andre Onana should've done better for both goals, allowing Vernam's effort to beat him at his near post before he flapped at a corner, leaving Warren to tap the ball home into an empty net.
It could have been worse for Ruben Amorin's side after Cameron Gardner had a goal disallowed for handball but there was no doubting this was one of United's worst halves in history.
Former United striker Louis Saha was left aghast at what he had seen and was particularly damning in his assessment of Onana.
'It is shambolic, shocking (defending),' the Frenchman told ITV Sport. 'They don't have the legs, those mistakes are correctly punished by Grimsby, they've done really well so credit to them.

'But it's horrific mistakes again from Onana so we lost this first half.'
Grimsby's second goal was classed as the ninth mistake Onana has made leading to a goal since the start of last season and Saha couldn't believe how poor the Cameroonian had been.
'That is not excusable,' he added. 'It's not clear where he's coming out, there is no contact with the ball, his eyes aren't even on it.
'The first one (goal was a mistake) for him, second one (was also a mistake) for him. So many mistakes. That's not Man United and I think he knows it.'
