Manchester United legend Gary Neville has called for a clearout of the bad influences inside the squad.

Neville says the senior players aren't doing enough to keep control of the dressing room.

When I was playing you always had three groups - the guardians, the middle group and the younger ones," Neville was quoted as saying at the Soccer Science Conference by Training Ground Guru. "When I started in the first-team there were players like Paul Ince and Roy Keane and one bad pass was regarded as an absolute crime. Manchester United doesn't have the guardians now. Absolutely not, no.

"There are some good professionals, Juan Mata for instance. Ander Herrera, when he was there and Scott McTominay - you can see he's a good lad and wants to play football. But I don't think they carry the influence in the dressing room to be able to dominate the culture and that's a real problem.

"In any business, in any football team, if the guardians in the dressing room, the ones who have the influence, are not setting the example, then you have a big problem and have to clear them out.

"I love Ole to bits. Whoever he feels is not aligned to the principles of Manchester United, he has to get rid of them."
