Tyson Fury has threatened to come to Manchester United's training ground with Patrice Evra to instil a ‘winner’s mentality’ in his beloved club.

United were soundly beaten 2-0 by rivals City in the Manchester derby at Old Trafford, with the WBC heavyweight champion watching on from the stands.

A fortnight on from the embarrassing 5-0 home humiliation at the hands of rivals Liverpool, the Red Devils fell to another one-sided defeat as they returned to the scene of the crime for the 186th Manchester derby.

Pep Guardiola's men cruised to a Premier League victory far more comfortable than the scoreline suggested, but Eric Bailly's own goal and a preventable Bernardo Silva effort was enough to ease past United.

Solskjaer had called the loss to Liverpool the darkest day of his near three-year reign and the manner of this loss to their neighbours will lead to renewed pressure during the international break.

Fury, who knocked out Deontay Wilder a month ago to retain his title in their trilogy bout, believes United are ‘getting smashed’ regularly and says something needs to change.

“After today’s defeat to City, it’s fair to say United are taking a worse beating than Deontay Wilder took in all his fights against me,” Fury said in an  video.

“We are absolutely getting smashed out there. I think partly it is because the players – with no disrespect to any of you – it doesn’t seem like you are digging deep to try and win these games.

“It just seems like you’re happy to get through them and whatever happens, happens.

“You know, when I fought Wilder and I was on the floor, and any man I’ve ever fought, I never believed I was going to lose the fight.

“I always believed I would come back and win, and that is called a winner’s mentality, something that you guys in the last two games have just not had.

“I think me and Patrice Evra will come down to training and give you some of that [fist] and give you the hard words that you need.”
