- LISTEN NOW: It’s All Kicking Off! New formation, some new faces, but the optimism has gone at Old Trafford
Gary Neville has blasted Manchester United as ‘the worst pound-for-pound football club in the country’ following their woeful first half against Newcastle.
United went into the game in 14th place in the Premier League and they made a woeful start at Old Trafford as Alexander Isak put Newcastle ahead after just four minutes.
There was further misery to come as Joelinton put the visitors 2-0 up in the 19th minute.
Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville said: ‘You are watching the worst pound-for-pound football club in the country. They are that bad.’
United boss Ruben Amorim reacted by substituting forward Joshua Zirkzee after just 33 minutes, with Kobbie Mainoo replacing him.
It has been a woeful season for United so far, with the appointment of Amorim having not had the desired effect so far.

Former United defender Neville didn’t hold back in his criticism of the Red Devils
After he succeeded Erik ten Hag there was much excitement at United when Amorim was appointed.
However, he went into the game against Newcastle with a mixed record of four wins, one draw and five defeats in ten matches.
Many United players have underperformed this season, with it being clear that the squad is in need of an overhaul.
The January transfer window could represent a chance for United to improve their squad.
However, there is much work for Amorim to do and there also remains uncertainty over the future of Marcus Rashford, despite the forward having returned to the matchday squad against Newcastle.
Rashford had been left out by Amorim for United’s previous four games.
Former Manchester United player and current football pundit Gary Neville has not held back in his criticism of his former club, labeling them as ‘the worst pound-for-pound team in the country’ after their dismal performance against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Neville’s scathing comments come after United were mauled by Ruben Amorim’s side in the first half, with the visitors taking a commanding lead early on. The Red Devils struggled to cope with Newcastle’s attacking prowess and were left chasing the game as they fell behind by multiple goals.
The former England international did not mince his words as he lambasted United’s lackluster display, questioning their commitment, desire, and overall quality on the pitch. Neville’s assessment is sure to ruffle feathers among the United faithful, who have been left frustrated by the team’s inconsistent performances in recent weeks.
As the pressure mounts on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his players, Neville’s comments serve as a stark reminder of the high standards expected at a club of United’s stature. With tough fixtures on the horizon, including a crucial Champions League clash against Villarreal, the Red Devils will need to quickly address their issues if they are to salvage their season and appease their disgruntled fans.
