Gary Neville is expressing his concern and confusion over Manchester United's recent performances under manager Erik ten Hag. The team has been struggling and Neville believes there is no explanation for their current form.
In their recent match against Bournemouth, United had to come from behind twice to avoid defeat and the 2-2 draw extended their winless streak to four games. This is a far cry from their promising first season under Ten Hag, where they finished third in the Premier League and won the League Cup.
However, United are now in seventh place in the table and their only hope for redemption is to win the FA Cup. They have a semi-final match against Coventry City next weekend, but Neville worries that even that may not be enough to salvage their largely disappointing season.
He points to the team's poor performance levels as the biggest concern, noting that they have been consistently low in recent matches against Brentford and Bournemouth. Neville acknowledges that injuries have been a factor, but even with a mostly healthy starting lineup, the team has not been able to perform at their usual standard.
Neville also expresses frustration with the team's inconsistency, stating that they seem to have the same issues week after week. He believes that even the fans' anger and disappointment is starting to fade, as they have become accustomed to these disappointing performances.
Although winning the FA Cup would be a major achievement, Neville notes that it is a strange experience to watch United play so poorly. He believes that the team needs to find a way to play at their best for the entire 90 minutes, rather than just in short bursts.
In their recent match against Bournemouth, Bruno Fernandes was able to score two goals to save United from defeat. However, it was still a disappointing outcome for a team of United's caliber to struggle against a mid-table opponent.
When asked if United fans should remain patient after yet another underwhelming display, Ten Hag acknowledges that there are problems within the team but believes they can still play at a high level when everyone is in top form. He emphasizes the need for consistency in their performances, which has been lacking in recent matches.
