Man Utd treble winner says he ‘wouldn’t want to play’ for present-day United

Dwight Yorke claims that he wouldn’t want to be part of present-day Manchester United because it is currently ‘a really bad place to be’. 

The 52-year-old enjoyed a highly successful stint at Old Trafford, registering over 150 appearances and scoring 66 goals. 

He was a key player in guiding the Manchester giants to a historic treble of trophies in 1998-99. 

But when asked if he would sign for the present-day United, he said (per The Times):

“I wouldn’t want to play. There’s a lack of creativity, passion. It’s just a real bad place to be if you are a United player.” 

Manchester United have seen a huge decline since Sir Alex Ferguson stepped down as manager in 2013. 

The Scot led his side to the Premier League trophy in his final season, but United have never even come close to competing for the title since. 

David Moyes, Louis van Gaal, Jose Mourinho and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer all failed to bring the glory days back to Old Trafford. 

Erik ten Hag looked promising after an impressive debut campaign saw the Red Devils finishing third in the league and winning the Carabao Cup. 

But the Dutchman also looks on the verge of getting sacked as they are now languishing in eighth with Newcastle United, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur all ahead of them.
