Manchester United coach Ruben Amorim has seen a number of his Red Devils stars brutally put down by former Tottenham and Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood\"TimTim Sherwood is not impressed by three Manchester United stars(Image: Fred Lee\/Getty Images for Premier League)<\/p>\n

Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has offered a scathing assessment of three of Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United<\/a> stars. Sherwood does not rate defenders Leny Yoro and Matthijs de Ligt, and has not been impressed with Benjamin Sesko’s efforts so far.<\/p>\n

Yoro, 20, and De Ligt, 26, arrived at Old Trafford in 2024<\/a> but have failed to impress the ex-Blackburn midfielder. The French defender arrived from Lille as United beat competition from Real Madrid<\/a> for his signature<\/a>, while De Ligt joined from Bayern Munich<\/a>, having already featured for Juventus<\/a> and Ajax.<\/p>\n

Sherwood has acknowledged that players from Europe need time to settle in the Premier League, but is not convinced that it will lead to a positive result for the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

Sesko fared no better in Sherwood’s mind. The young striker has scored just two goals in 14 appearances for United<\/a>, and the former Aston Villa<\/a> boss reckons if he’d come through the club’s academy, he would not have been offered further chances by Amorim.<\/p>\n

Sherwood told BetWright<\/a> : \u201cI don\u2019t see it with Leny Yoro at the moment, to be honest. I always feel that players need time to settle into the Premier League<\/a>, especially if you\u2019re a young player who\u2019s come from Europe, but I don\u2019t see it with him.<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving said that, I also don\u2019t see it with Matthijs de Ligt either \u2013 I don\u2019t think he\u2019s the answer for Manchester United.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou could say the same about a lot of Manchester United\u2019s players, and I think it demonstrates how big of a drop off there is between Arsenal<\/a> and Manchester City<\/a> \u2019s squad and the rest of the league.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m also not sold by Benjamin Sesko. He hasn\u2019t had a huge amount of chances, but I\u2019d have at least expected to see something by now. I don\u2019t see anything with him at the moment.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he was an academy player at Manchester United coming through the ranks and he performed the way he has, you\u2019d never seen him again and he\u2019d never get another opportunity.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope for Man United\u2019s sake that he improves, but at the moment, I don\u2019t see it with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sesko returned to United’s starting line-up in defeat to Aston Villa after a period out with a knee injury. The striker could next feature against Newcastle<\/a> United on Boxing<\/a> Day.<\/p>\n

Victory then would see United go level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea<\/a>. Amorim’s side are currently seventh in the Premier League standings.<\/p>\n
