Gary Neville was very vocal in his criticism of the Glazers after Manchester United's 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday. The defeat is United's third in their opening five Premier League games this season, leaving them with just six points from a possible 15 so far.
Neville voiced his opinion that the Glazers are responsible for the club's current situation. He said, "I've just got back from Old Trafford and you always have to be optimistic pre-match but the most concerning thing is what we ended up watching wasn’t a surprise. This wasn’t a lack of effort or a group of players not interested. This was a team well-beaten by opponents that were well drilled and knew what they were doing. Simple as that."
The former Manchester United player went on to say that the Glazers inherited the best in all areas and have overseen 10 years of mediocrity both on and off the pitch. He believes the only thing that can reset the tone and culture of the club is for the Glazers to sell the club with speed and efficiency.
Jamie Carragher, fellow Sky Sports pundit, responded to Neville's comments with a joke. He said, "All this time I thought Alex Ferguson stopped us winning the Premier League, but it was actually [former United chairman] Martin Edwards." Neville then replied, "You still on here after your Onana piece?", which was a reference to Carragher's column in which the former Liverpool defender suggested that Onana attempted to endear himself to United supporters by berating Harry Maguire during a pre-season friendly. Carragher then replied to Neville, "Even more so after today! Tell him to stop waving his hands at players & use them to save some shots."
