Neville expresses worries for Man Utd manager

Former Manchester United star Gary Neville has expressed concern for the club’s manager Erik ten Hag over the Red Devils’ current form.

According to Neville, Old Trafford is now a graveyard for coaches and players.

This comes after Man United continued their poor form with a recent defeat at Old Trafford against Galatasaray in the Champions League on Tuesday.

The defeat to Galatasaray in the Champions League was after they had lost to Crystal Palace in the Premier League last weekend at home.

The back-to-back defeats have mounted pressure on Ten Hag, with some Man United fans questioning whether the former Ajax manager is the right choice to lead the club.

However, Neville has admitted to feeling sorry for Ten Hag.

“I feel very sorry for the manager, I know a lot of people will say he’s got to do a lot better, but there are a lot of big problems at the club that managers have found over the last ten years,” Neville told talkSPORT.

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

“There are very few players that excel at Manchester United in these last ten years. They were all great players when they came to the club, they were all wanted by other clubs.

“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 is because it’s not culturally correct to accept players in the way that it should do and we (United) need to get that right.”
