Defeat at Brentford last weekend has United currently 14th on the Premier League table with doubts persisting over the position of manager Ruben Amorim.
Meulensteen said on the No Tippy Tappy Football Podcast, “The club is broken in two ways. Everybody can see that they’re broken on the pitch, they come up against Brentford with a new manager, they’re finding their feet. If it was under (Thomas) Frank, you would know you’re in for a game against Brentford, he will throw the kitchen sink at you.
“Credit to Brentford, because they had a game plan and it worked a treat, and Manchester United has got zero ability to turn that around to some extent. They’re broken there.
“The club is also broken, off the field. The culture that I was part of and that Sir Alex built was a fantastic culture to be a part of, and it was a family, everybody together. Everybody was looking after each other, and everybody felt valued to some extent.
"All those things that have happened in the background, with the ownership, with Jim Ratcliffe coming in, the redundancies, the whole culture Alex Ferguson built for 26 years has been completely stripped away.”
