Gary Neville, a former player for Manchester United, recently shared his thoughts on the team's performance. He stated that only one Manchester United player would be good enough to make it into the starting lineup for Tottenham, after Ruben Amorim's side suffered a loss to Spurs. This loss added to United's already disappointing season, as they have now faced 12 defeats in the Premier League.
The Red Devils were plagued with injuries, resulting in eight uncapped teenagers being named on the bench. This was due to losing several players, including the in-form winger Amad Diallo, to injury and illness throughout the week. However, their opponents, Tottenham, also faced injury issues, with star defenders Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero being unavailable.
Despite United's efforts, James Maddison's goal in the first half secured a win for Tottenham, who were looking to bounce back after consecutive losses to Liverpool and Aston Villa in the cup. Neville was not surprised by the outcome, as he believed that only one player from Manchester United, Bruno Fernandes, would be good enough to make it into the starting lineup for Tottenham.
Neville spoke about the criticism surrounding the quality of Manchester United's players, stating that most of Tottenham's players would be considered better than any player on United's team, except for Fernandes. He expressed his disappointment in the current state of the team, saying that they lacked the necessary players to compete at a high level.
United defender Matthijs de Ligt refused to use the team's sudden injury crisis as an excuse for their loss to Tottenham. He acknowledged that both teams faced similar issues but emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for the defeat. De Ligt also commented on the team's lack of urgency and hunger in the final third, stating that it was a team effort that needed improvement.
Despite the current challenges, United remains determined to turn their season around and bounce back from this defeat. They will face Everton next weekend, while Tottenham will look to continue their momentum against Ipswich Town. The road ahead may be tough, but both teams are focused on putting in their best efforts and achieving success.
