Gary Neville says Manchester United sorely missed Christian Eriksen in Sunday’s stalemate with Newcastle, though he also questioned the balance of the home side's midfield.
Eriksen sat out the clash due to illness and the hosts consequently lacked creativity in the centre of the park. United struggled to find frequent openings against the Magpies, but when chances did come they were squandered.
This meant United endured a frustrating afternoon and they remain fifth but are now three points off Chelsea in fourth. Neville said United's performance “wasn’t great” and that they rued the absence of Eriksen in midfield.
