Guillem Balague: 'Old Trafford looks old and tired, and United are the same'

United didn't have a shot on target in the 1-0 defeat to Barcelona despite some attempts to pep the game up.

A well-known Spanish journalist Guillem Balague told BBC about the game: ''This is what United are at the moment. The Spanish journalists were saying the stadium looks old, and tired, and the team is the same. It needs a coat of paint, and to rebuild.

Barca didn’t attack with venom, after the goal it was a matter of conserving energy. Messi is carrying a groin injury and needs rest, but he won’t get it unless the games are like today when he was 'actively resting'.''

He concluded: ''If you want to see positives for United - we didn’t see Alba attack, we didn’t see Coutinho, Messi didn’t shine, Suarez only had one chance – but that was about it. It's not just the personnel, Solskjaer will have to change how the players think.''
