Alan Shearer has a completely different view of Manchester United FA Cup final performance to that of Red Devils' manager Jose Mourinho.

The Newcastle hero was disappointed with the Old Trafford side and criticised them heavily in his column for The Sun.

"This was an inexplicably bland performance in a match that meant so much," Shearer wrote.
How can a team with so much talent in it produce such slow, plodding, average football?

"It will be interesting to see whether Paul Pogba and Romelu Lukaku are the same players with their country this summer at the World Cup, as they were for their club yesterday.

"It was a day for Pogba to stand up and be counted. And he went missing — again.

"As he has done so many times this season.

"I look at a player like Alexis Sanchez and wonder what happened to the player I saw at Arsenal, the one that the two Manchester clubs fought over for his signature.

"I look at Marcus Rashford, 20, and remember all the youthful zeal and promise that we saw 18 months ago.

"Now we see a player with slumped shoulders who is short on confidence. And don't come back to me with that age-old excuse he hasn't had a decent run of games.

"He hadn't had when he made his Premier League debut, when he started and scored twice against Arsenal.

"So that didn't seem to hold him back then. This United looks to me like a group of players that are scared to try anything, to take a risk.
"Scared to do something that will make a difference. Too often their play is slow and sideways."
