The podcast winds up again, with Manchester United star Gary Neville kicking off a bit of a debate by bluntly denouncing the current state of the team.
Neville pulls no punches in his dissection, "This group of United players, in my opinion, are just not good enough. This is not an accusation of individual players, but a sharp critique of the overall strength." He recalled the glorious history of Manchester United, expecting the team to return to the peak, and the city's arch-rival Arsenal and other powerful side by side. However, the gap between reality and expectation has made Neville blunt.
On manager Amorim, Neville offered a pointed challenge: "It would be a great step forward for Amorim to face up to the status quo. In the past, the joy of victory has often led to a misjudgment of strength, but the reality is harsh. United are in dire need of improvement in a number of areas." Neville advised Amorim to stick to a 3-4-3 formation and be brave enough to rotate, but the reality is that there are few satisfactory options.
Faced with the future of Manchester United, Neville was worried: "They are all doing their best, but they are still not enough. Manchester United's goal is the peak, which requires us to reach that height. Obviously, this group of players in front of us is not enough to hold up the flag of Manchester United." He emphasized that United desperately needs a radical change to get out of the woods.
In addition, Neville congratulated Bournemouth on their victory at Manchester United's home ground as a blow to the Red Devils for the second year in a row and praised Bournemouth manager Iraola for his excellent performance. He expects Amorim to observe calmly and take six months to assess the team and make changes.
