Man Utd failing to learn from Gary Neville's 'rancid' warning after Everton defeat

Back in April 2019, Manchester United were humiliated 4-0 by Everton at Goodison Park as their hopes of securing a Champions League qualification spot suffered a significant setback. Fast-forward three years, and the Red Devils are enduring a frightening case of deja vu.

While Saturday's scoreline was far less shocking, the manner of the damaging 1-0 defeat to the Toffees evoked plenty of parallels and will provide plenty of cause for concern. The latest loss leaves United languishing down in seventh spot in the Premier League standings, six points adrift of fourth-placed Tottenham with a mere seven games to play.

Three years ago, United - then under the guidance of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - failed to achieve their aim of Champions League qualification with an April defeat at Goodison playing a part in that. Now, with Ralf Rangnick at the helm, it appears history will repeat itself.
