Manchester United are crippled by a lack of athleticism as too many of Erik ten Hag's players 'can't run or won't run', says Chris Sutton on Mail Sport's podcast 'It's All Kicking Off'

Chris Sutton has pinpointed a lack of athleticism as one of Manchester United's biggest issues, claiming some of Erik ten Hag's players 'can't run' and 'won't run'.

Problems are mounting for the Dutchman whose side lost 3-0 at home to Manchester City on Sunday, barely laying a glove on the Premier League champions in the process.

United have lost half of their 10 league matches so far this season and are marooned in eighth place on the table, 11 points behind league leaders Tottenham and eight behind fourth-placed Liverpool.
