"When I played for United, the dressing-room, the players were held together, but I don't understand what's happening at Manchester United now. I think there are some problems somewhere," Kanchelskis told the Daily Mail.
"Nobody spoke about money. We played for the football. Nice people, nice dressing-room. Now, first of all for players it's money, money, money. Like Sir Alex Ferguson said: 'Listen, Manchester United first, second money'.
"When I signed for United in 1991, the contract was 120,000-a-year. My salary at Shakhtar Donetsk was two times better. I could have stayed at Shakhtar with a big cigar earning two or maybe three times as much. But I moved for the football not the money.
"Now it's different. The players are different. Everyone speaks about money. I don't understand what's happening in football now.
"If you see in the past, everybody was working for these titles: the people cleaning the kitchen, the director, the secretary, the players, the kit man.
"First of all Man Utd, it's a big club and like a family. Some people playing for Man United now don't remember what happened. There's no family now, in my opinion."
