Former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand described their Champions League exit as "embarrassing".
+++++++
A: Ex-United striker Michael Owen said the club has gone backwards under manager Louis van Gaal and former midfielder Paul Scholes called them "average".
The trio were speaking after a 3-2 loss at Wolfsburg condemned United to the Europa League.
"This is a worse squad now. The players Louis van Gaal has let go would beat tonight's team," said Owen.
United's defeat in Germany meant Wolfsburg finished top of Group B, while PSV Eindhoven, who beat CSKA Moscow, reached the last 16 as runners-up.
Van Gaal has been in charge at Old Trafford for 18 months and BT Sport pundits Ferdinand, Owen and Scholes have not seen any improvement, despite the club's heavy spending in the transfer market.
Scholes has previously stated he "would not enjoy" playing in Van Gaal's side as there is "a lack of creativity and risk".
"They spend £250m and can't qualify from a shocking group," said Scholes, who played 718 times for the Red Devils.
"It is more of a disaster when you are surprised. It was a shocking group. Will Wolfsburg and PSV get to the last eight? They will get knocked out in the next round."
Ferdinand added:  "It's embarrassing. I was in a squad that went into the Europa League and it's an embarrassment.
"You don't want to come out of your house, you don't want to walk around Manchester.
"People look at you and think 'you're not good enough', questioning you as an individual and as part of a team that didn't get through the group stages that you should have.
"If you strip it back, this squad needs a hard look. There is no pace or power. People are looking around at each other rather than saying, 'I will drag you through'."
United are fourth in the Premier League, three points behind leaders Leicester, but have been criticised this season for their lack of flair and goals.
Owen reeled off the names of players who have left the club during Van Gaal's tenure who he believes are better than those who played for United at Wolfsburg.
"Rafael, Nemanja Vidic, Jonny Evans, Patrice Evra, Nani, Shinji Kagawa, Robin van Persie, Javier Hernandez, Adnan Januzaj and Danny Welbeck would all get in to that side," he said.

"If the Glazers, Manchester United's owners, want to carry on spending and continue to back Louis van Gaal then they must have money to burn, because Van Gaal will only make a hash of it.
"I really don't think they have made progress since David Moyes. I would change it now - his recruitment has been poor.
"I don't speak to Van Gaal's assistant Ryan Giggs that regularly, but clearly he will not be happy with the way they are playing.
"I just wonder how much of an influence he is actually allowed to have - whether he just puts the cones out in training. I wonder if Van Gaal does say from time to time: 'You know what? You give the team talk, because you are the next manager of Manchester United.'"
Gary: "It's absolutely embarrassing. Louis van Gaal needs to go - there is no way we should be going out of a group like that.
"I've been to Europe with Cristiano Ronaldo in the team, I went to Barcelona [where United won the Champions League in 1999], I went all over when we were playing well. Van Gaal just does not have a team going. Not at all."
Adam: "Manchester United have got Sheffield United at home in the FA Cup and I really think it will be one of our lowest attendances. Nobody will go, because we are so dull and we are going absolutely nowhere. There is nothing to be excited about and I don't think we will improve - that's why Louis van Gaal has to go.
"We gave him £250m to spend, and only our goalkeeper would interest a top side. Nick Powell wasn't even good enough for Leicester when he was there."

MSPs have launched an inquiry into how to stop the problems caused by air pollution.
+++++++
A: It comes after environmental campaigners said the issue was causing a public health crisis.
A Friends of the Earth report in January found Scotland's most polluted streets regularly breached the European limit for levels of nitrogen dioxide.
Recent evidence also suggests air pollution could be contributing to 15,000 early deaths in Scotland a year.
The top three Scottish streets most polluted with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in 2016 were Hope Street in Glasgow, St John's Road in Edinburgh and Wellington Road in Aberdeen.
NO2, which is produced by vehicle engines, has been linked to respiratory disease.
Graeme Dey, convener of the environment, climate change and land reform committee, said Scotland needed to take air quality seriously to achieve its ambitious targets.
"Not only can poor air quality impact our natural environment and wildlife, but it is also bad for our own health and is especially harmful for the young, elderly and people who already have heart and lung conditions," he said.
"In fact, recent evidence suggests air pollution may be a contributory factor to 15,000 early deaths in Scotland each year.
"As part of our new inquiry, the committee wants to hear whether Scotland is doing all that it can to tackle toxic gases and how this fits into the overall plans to cut pollution within the UK and EU."

Dr Richard Dixon, director of Friends of the Earth Scotland, welcomed the inquiry, saying the "national disgrace" of air pollution caused thousands of deaths as well as a billion pound cost to the economy.
He added: "Air pollution endangers the most vulnerable in our society - the young, the elderly and those with existing health problems.
"Toxic air has been linked with heart attacks, strokes, cancers, and even mothers giving birth to babies prematurely and with reduced birth weights.
"Tackling air pollution by getting cars off the roads will deliver huge co-benefits in terms of reducing climate emissions. Transport recently became the single biggest source of greenhouse gases in Scotland, with figures still stuck around 1990 levels."

Toulon flanker Steffon Armitage has questioned England's decision not to select Maro Itoje and Elliot Daly in the matchday squad to face Scotland.
+++++++
A:
Answer: Armitage said not picking the uncapped pair for the Six Nations opener sent the wrong message to young players.
Saracens lock Itoje, 21, and centre Daly, 23, will travel to Edinburgh as reserves for the 23-man squad.
The in-form pair will be "wondering what they have to do to get in", Armitage told 888Sport.com.
Itoje is widely regarded as one of the most exciting young talents in the Premiership and may feature in the matchday squad if Courtney Lawes does not recover from a hamstring injury.
Armitage, ineligible for selection as he is based overseas, described Wasps outside-centre Daly as "one of the stars" of European rugby this season.
Paul Hill, Jack Clifford and Ollie Devoto could make their debuts from the replacements' bench in the Calcutta Cup match, but Eddie Jones' first squad largely contains players who featured in last autumn's World Cup.
"I'll back England but I'm disappointed not to see a few faces in the team for the first game," added the 30-year-old.
"Not to see them in the group, I don't know what kind of message it's sending.
"You have to put these players in when it's their time and I feel with Itoje that he's got there. He's doing it week in, week out for Saracens.
"Sometimes it's best to throw them into the deep end because otherwise when are you going to do it? This is the perfect time to do it."
Earlier this week, new coach Jones said both Itoje and Daly would play in the Six Nations "at some stage".
"I've got to pick the right opportunity for them to play. Their time will come," said the Australian, who succeeded Stuart Lancaster after England failed to progress beyond the World Cup group stages.
