“I feel very sorry for the manager, I know a lot of people will say he’s got to do a lot better, and that’s fine” Gary Neville shows sympathy for Ten Hag and Manchester United’s series of losses

In the midst of the chaos and banter targeted at the United players and the manager, Gary Neville shows sympathy on Erik Ten Hag and gives reasons why his team may be running at the bottom of their group’s table.

Taking in 3 goals to 2 at Old Trafford means that Manchester United are at the bottom of their group’s table with no point and the premier league is nothing to write home about.

Asked what he’s made of their start to the season, Neville replied. “Scruffy, very scruffy. 

“Up and down, inconsistent, injuries and lots of things going wrong on the pitch, lots of things going wrong off the pitch.”

He continued: “I feel very sorry for the manager, I know a lot of people will say he’s got to do a lot better, and that’s fine, he’s the Manchester United manager, but there are a lot of big problems at the club that managers have found over the last ten years.

“I think until those problems are solved we’ll still continue to see underperforming teams, underperforming players, it’s become a graveyard for coaches and players – it’s not too strong a term.

He added that over the last ten years, only few players have made it to Manchester United who were great and when they arrived,other clubs had eyes on them.

“They won these players off of other clubs and then they end up coming to Manchester United and they end up not succeeding and not performing to their levels, why is that? It’s because it’s not culturally correct to accept players in the way that it should do and we need to get that right.”
