After the anemic 0-0 draw against Manchester City, Gary Neville stated United desperately needed 5 new players. After the 4-1 thrashing of Newcastle at St. James’ Park, the United legend has changed his mind. Keep two and “ship” the rest!
As a United legend with his entire trophy cabinet full of medals, it is a luxury to analyze and comment on Manchester United’s performance in the present. Neville has nevertheless shown he comes with good analysis and moderate in relation to Roy Keane’s “they play like shit!” -comments.

But after the loss to Newcastle and still heading for the weakest Premier League season in club history, it was also enough for Neville.
-They are not a very good team. Simple as that. The problem with this group of players is that they give it their all. I don’t think there is a lack of effort. They are so below the standard and quality you need in that football club all over the pitch. Apart from Bruno Fernandes, Amad Diallo maybe, I can’t think of any of them I would hang my hat on,” Neville begins to NBC Sports.
-It’s a really desperate situation because the squad is so poor on quality. They have old players, they have young players who are nowhere near it, they have a group in the middle… It’s a worrying situation,” concludes a head-shaking Neville.
