Gary Neville directly calls out Ruben Amorim in blunt Man Utd assessment
Gary Neville has taken aim at Ruben Amorim following Manchester United’s 3-1 Premier League defeat to Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium
Gary Neville has taken aim at Ruben Amorim’s tactics – as he claimed the Manchester United hierarchy will be wanting to see a turnaround in fortunes following their poor start to the season. Speaking to Rebecca Lowe on NBC Sports on Sunday afternoon, the former England international said: “I am very worried, Rebecca; there is no point in me sitting here and saying I’m not.
“The levels of performance, the results and the substitutions yesterday. I saw something at the end of the Grimsby game that they lost in the Carabao Cup a couple of weeks ago, which was Mason Mount ending up at left wing-back.
“We admire managers who are stubborn and resilient around their system, we want them to stick to their plan, but when you have Mason Mount playing at left-back, you are going to look pretty stupid.

“It has happened twice now and it can’t happen. The first time I thought it was unforgivable and yesterday it happened again.
“He changes his back three and his back five every single game and the performances and the results are just unacceptable.
“I’m really, really worried. I would never go on television, as I know how difficult a manager’s job can be, and say a manager should be sacked, but I suspect the hierarchy at Manchester United are going to want to see a turnaround.”
