The Red Devils suffered a dramatic plunge in form, losing five of their last seven games
Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer called for a "reality check" among some of his players after an alarming training session.
The resurgence of the Red Devils has been halted by five defeats in their last seven games, which has pushed them out of the Champions League and FA Cup.
The men of Solskjaer also fight to rank in the top four and face Everton, Manchester City and Chelsea over the next eight days.
The Norwegian warns that there is "no hiding place" for his underachieving stars and sounded the alarm before the club match.
"I learned a lot about them over the months and you know them," he said.

Full commentary from Sheffield United v Nottingham Forest, as well as news from the team
"Most of them really impressed with their attitude and some need to know their reality. But most of them know that they can improve if they continue to work as they do.
"Every day of training, every game you play, there is no hiding place and everyone can see what your level is. We work with fantastic staff to create this culture.
"Players have to take care of what's going on here too, but field performance will determine where they are – whether it's short-term or long-term every day.
"This is what we talked about in Barcelona (Tuesday); when you're in big stages, you have to make good decisions and I'm looking forward to that time.
"There is no miracle solution, it's not like buying seven players and suddenly we're in good shape, we're where we are.
"We have to go step by step and, of course, dedications will be made this summer."

Solskjaer confirmed that Anthony Martial's immersion had been noticed since the signing of a new contract in January.
The Frenchman was one of the most disappointing United players in the 3-0 defeat of Camp Nou in Barcelona on Tuesday night.
"I've talked to people and they know what we expect from them. Anthony is a man to whom I have spoken. He has a huge talent, he has a new contract, he knows we believe in him. So keep working, "added Solskjaer.
"I think anyone playing for Man United needs to prove themselves to stay in the team and in the team. Anthony is no different than Rashy (Marcus Rashford) or Rom (Romelu Lukaku) or Alexis (Sanchez) or the many attackers we have to choose.
"That's the big thing about it now: it's up to the players and the property they take it."
