A dejected Gary Neville was forced to admit that Manchester United 's setup against Liverpool was "truly awful" after endorsing the approach employed by interim manager Ralf Rangnick before kick-off.
The former Red Devils captain let rip at United's dire performance, thrashed 4-0 in another starkly one-sided clash between English football's two most successful clubs. Neville's old team hardly gave themselves a chance, conceding within the first five minutes before being blown away by Liverpool's attack.
Despite the Red Devils' recent poor from, going behind so early and coming into half-time 2-0 down was especially damning given they had set up with five-man defence, a formation which should be difficult for any opposition in the same division to break down. But after the interval, Rangnick brought on winger Jadon Sancho for defender Phil Jones, a decision which Neville felt was necessary following the catastrophic first half.
