This upcoming season, Erik ten Hag has a lot on his plate as he looks to turn things around for Manchester United. After a disappointing performance last season, Gary Neville expressed his frustration with the team's performance, calling it a "massive embarrassment." He believes that drastic changes need to be made, not just on the pitch, but also behind the scenes.
During the summer, there have been some changes at Old Trafford, including the appointment of Dan Ashworth as sporting director. Additionally, new players have been brought in, such as Leny Yoro, Joshua Zirkzee, Matthijs de Ligt, and Noussair Mazraoui. However, there have also been some departures, including Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial, and Raphael Varane.
Despite all the changes, one thing remains the same: Erik ten Hag is still the manager. Neville believes that he needs to drastically improve the team's performance after their eighth-place finish last season. One of the main areas that needs improvement is their defense, as they conceded a staggering 670 shots on their goal last season.
Neville did not hold back in his criticism of Manchester United's performance last season, describing them as "a mess everywhere." He pointed out the team's injuries, lack of balance, and poor midfield as major issues that need to be addressed. He also believes that their tactics, such as the box midfield, need to be reevaluated.
As the new season approaches, Neville emphasizes the need for a complete overhaul at Manchester United. He believes that drastic changes are necessary for the team to improve and achieve success. With the team's recent FA Cup success as the only positive from last season, Neville is hopeful that things will be much better this time around.
