Thierry Henry has torn a Manchester United player to pieces for doing something he has 'never seen before' against Newcastle United.
Henry joined David Jones and Jamie Carragher on Monday Night Football for Bournemouth vs. Fulham.
Ahead of kick-off at the Vitality Stadium, the MNF panel looked back at last weekend's Premier League action, including Man United's bruising 4-1 defeat to Newcastle.
The Red Devils were condemned to their 14th league defeat of the season at St. James' Park.

Carragher and Henry expertly analysed Man United's woeful showing as the Arsenal legend spotted something no-one has mentioned yet.
He slammed Leny Yoro's involvement in Newcastle's third goal, which was tucked away by Harvey Barnes, who cut straight through Man United's backline to smash home a stunning goal.
When analysing the goal, Henry questioned what Yoro did. He could be seen looking in the direction of the linesman after Barnes scored.

On Sky Sports, he exclaimed: "Please stay on (Leny) Yoro and what he's asking for. I don't know what he's looking at... are you looking at the linesman to see if he'll bail you out?
"I don't know if he thought there was an offside," he added. "We all know it's a goal, what are you looking at? I don't know, I've never seen that. We all know it's a goal..."
Roy Keane, who was in the studio for the Super Sunday clash, also pulled no punches when reviewing the goal.

"Barnes is brilliant, take nothing away from Barnes, but someone’s got to lunge at him, someone’s got to tackle him," he said.
"They gave a goal away at [Nottingham] Forest two weeks ago - someone running through the middle - tackle him!”
Keane added: "Tackle him, lunge at him, do something, how can someone run through the middle and not get touched.
"United have been sloppy in possession. A player can slip but you’re part of a team and if you make a mistake you hope one of your teammates covers for you but no one’s covering each other on this United team."
