However, former Manchester United defender Silvestre believes the players deserve some of the blame. The Frenchman also blamed the club's problems on a poor recruitment strategy, as he told Betting Expert:
“The owners are not on the pitch. We have a lot of people criticising the way the club is being run, but I think all managers have been backed financially, and they were given resources to buy players.

Their wage bill is huge now.” He added:
“The question now is, how is it being handled? With the recruitment process and also the Manchester United spirit, that’s what was missing. The spirit against Brentford was non-existent.

Only one team was fighting as a team. Manchester United, individually and as a team, was nowhere near what Premier League commitment requires." Silvestre believes that the blame for Manchester United's failure falls on multiple elements rather than just the owners. He said: “There are many, many elements that are missing, and we can’t blame one department of the club rather than another.

It is a collective failure at the end of the day. And even if it is early in the season, there is a pattern that comes from the end of the last season that is repeating itself again. They give up too early.”

The 5-foot 9-inch centre-back was targeted by Brentford's attack in their most recent clash. However, Silvestre believes the Argentine international can still become a success. The pundit stated:
“He knows how to perform in the air, he won a lot of headers back in Holland, so he knows how to compete in that department.

I think it is a learning curve for him. And that’s is the Premier League, where the type of challenges you face are more in the air, more than in any other league. I think he is going to learn fast, and I am sure he will.” He added:
“Reminds me of Patrice Evra when he first came to United.
