Manchester United has become a “graveyard” for players and could finish in the bottom half of the Premier League this season if they don’t address their deep-lying problems, according to Gary Neville.
United are currently rock-bottom of the top flight after losing their opening two matches under Erik ten Hag’s management. They were beaten 2-1 at Old Trafford by Brighton on the opening weekend before things turned from bad to worse in a remarkable 4-0 thrashing by Brentford on Saturday.
Ten Hag has so far failed to implement his playing style on the squad, who have been all at sea. Problems on the pitch have been linked with recruitment in the summer transfer window, with Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen struggling in their first two games and Tyrell Malacia yet to be given much game time. Top target Frenkie de Jong remains at Barcelona, months after United began negotiations.
