Mikael Silvestre responds to Gary Neville's criticism of Manchester United attacking players

Former Manchester United defender Mikael Silvestre has defended the Reds' attacking stars after Gary Neville criticised the club's forward players.

Neville suggested that Erik ten Hag's forward unit were the weakest among the 'top six' sides in the Premier League, claiming that he would pick the majority of other club's attacking players over United's.

The Reds have scored 18 goals in their opening 13 Premier League matches, which is significantly less than the other current top-four teams. Despite this, Ten Hag's men have still won seven top-flight matches and are just three points behind fourth-placed Tottenham Hotspur with a game in hand.
