Man Utd Squad May Lack Mental Strength, says Mark Hughes
Manchester United will be hosted in the Britannia Stadium today for a clash against Stock city.
Former United forward Hughes, who won 11 major honours during his two spells with the club, said: "I don't know what it's like there now. I've not been in that tunnel with them.
"But there was always an expectation that we were going to win. We didn't hope to win. We expected to win, no matter who we went up against.
"I don't know if that's their mentality at the moment. I suspect most of them have that. But if you're new to the club and you're trying to find your feet, and there's a period of transition for you as a player, and there's a new group at a big club, then maybe some of them haven't quite got it."
Hughes also claimed some of United's players may be struggling with the expectations placed on them.
He added: "There have been many players who signed for Manchester United, and just couldn't deal with the expectation.
"It's a big demand. You want to go there, be successful and make an impact.
"Sometimes, if you don't do it initially, then it becomes more difficult the longer it goes on. It's not easy."
