Bring back Man United outcast — Gary Neville after 2-0 defeat

The 2-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur for Manchester United did not sit well for the Red Devils legends who made their opinions known after the game, Gary Nevill being one of them.

According to the former defender, Gary Neville blasts new signing, Mason Mount for hiding in critical moments of the game, the defeat to Tottenham being one of them.

On Sky Sports, the Old Trafford hero was quoted saying;

“He’s struggled in both of the first two games Mason Mount he’s been pretty anonymous today. Manchester United have been dominated in midfield by Bissouma, Sarr and Maddison,”

The former England international then goes further to proffer what he feels would be the solution,

“It still very early in the season there’s no need to overreact one way or the other but what’s clear one way or the other is Manchester United’s midfield needs bolstering,” he said.

“That might mean Erik ten Hag has got to go back to Scott McTominay and put him in there and beef it up. He doesn’t want to do that today because he’s made five subs today and not used him.”

“It’s like he’s trying to manage him out of the club and make space for someone else to come in.”

“The owners have said there’s no more money until you get players out Maguire is saying no, I’m not going yet, McTominay is probably saying the same.”

“It’s not going to be an easy few days. there’s no doubt about that. Rudderless at the top. McTominay must be sat there thinking this is perfect for me we need someone in there to break up play.”

‘Fans have watched enough of Scott McTominay over the last few years to say he’s not good enough on the ball, but he’d certainly help in there in this type of scenario,” Gary Neville insisted.

Scott McTominay has been a player Manchester United are looking to move on in the transfer window, with West Ham United coming in recently to table a joint £60 million for the Scotland international alongside former United captain, Harry Maguire.

It is unclear what the situation would be for the Scotsman moving forward, and if the transfer away from Old Trafford will materialize.
