Former Manchester United and England striker Andy Cole isn't buying the explanation that David Moyes' squad is "aging" as the reason for its disastrous campaign.
United is in seventh place with six matches left to play this season, 17 points off the pace of Premier League rival Liverpool. While Moyes' side is coming off a 4-1 home win over Aston Villa on Saturday, there is every possibility it may not qualify for the Europa League, let alone the Champions League.
Moyes has said United is getting old, and that even his predecessor Alex Ferguson would struggle with the current squad.
