United have faced some heavy criticism, and their manager Louis van Gaal is under considerable pressure, after a poor run of results and longer spell of uninspiring performances
The Red Devils have lost their last three games in all competitions, have not won in six and were booed off after losing to Norwich last weekend
They have crashed out of the Champions League and slipped to fifth in the Barclays Premier League
Former United forward Hughes, whose Potters side take on Van Gaal's men in the Boxing Day lunchtime kick-off at the Britannia Stadium, was quoted in a number of national newspapers as saying: "I don't know what it's like there now
I've not been in that tunnel with them
"But there was always an expectation that we were going to win
We didn't hope to win
We expected to win, no matter who we went up against.
"I don't know if that's their mentality at the moment
I suspect most of them have that
But if you're new to the club and you're trying to find your feet, and there's a period of transition for you as a player, and there's a new group at a big club, then maybe some of them haven't quite got it."
