On the eve of the upcoming 16th round of the EPL Manchester City Derby, former Manchester United star Gary Neville made controversial remarks on Sky Sports about the prospects of the upcoming match. He made no bones about the fact that Manchester United has been reduced to a "burial ground" for players and coaches over the past decade, which is undoubtedly a sharp analysis of their recent performance.
Neville further dissected his concerns, pointing out that United's sluggish performance in set-piece defense, counterattacks from behind, and key battles away from home are all clear signs of a team struggling with mentality and performance. In particular, he emphasized that in the past decade, only one player, B Faye, has stood out, which undoubtedly exposes United's shortcomings in terms of reinforcements and talent development.
In the face of the new Manchester United manager Amorim, Neville also put forward his own suggestions. He believes that Amorim may have had a vision for United when he first arrived, but after witnessing the performance of his players, he should realize the dilemma the team is facing and need to quickly adjust his tactics and mentality to cope with the upcoming challenges.
