Departing Manchester United captain Nemanja Vidic admits "everyone lost belief in the team" during their disappointing season.
Vidic, who is joining Inter Milan this summer, insists former manager David Moyes - sacked before the season ended after less than a year in charge - was not solely to blame, and he revealed the players argued amongst themselves more than any other year in his career at Old Trafford.
Moyes succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson as manager last summer on a six-year contract but was sacked last month, United eventually finishing 22 points behind table-topping Manchester City and failing to qualify for Europe.
It was not the way Vidic wanted to end his otherwise glittering, trophy-filled eight-and-a-half-year career at the club.
But he says that whoever had succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson would have had a difficult job imposing their will on the squad.
