Gary Neville has refused to blame Jose Mourinho for Manchester United's recent decline, hitting out at his superiors instead.
The Red Devils legend posted on Twitter on Sunday morning and claimed his former club have "lost all sense of values".
United put in a dismal performance against West Ham on Sunday, losing 3-1 at the London Stadium.
Mourinho's very public fallout with Paul Pogba hasn't helped things, and without a win in three the pressure is well and truly on the Portuguese.
United haven't won the league since Sir Alex Ferguson retired, in 2013, and Neville believes a lack of leadership from United's board members has caused this decline.
"This mess started when United sacked David Moyes after 8 months and we lost all sense of the values that the club had been built on for 100 years," the former England defender tweeted.
"It’s not the manager it’s the lack of football leadership above him. They are bouncing all over the place with no plan!"
When a supporter came back to him saying David Moyes should never have been appointed in the first place, Neville replied: "That’s another question but when they sacked him after 8 months it went into pinball , reactive mode and chasing it! No plan..."
