The Red Devils conceded four goals against Brentford in an error-prone first 45 minutes. Goalkeeper David De Gea made two mistakes in the opening moments of the game which resulted in the Bees running away with the match.

Neville stated that it is very easy to break down this United side. He criticized the team for underperforming despite spending heavily in the recent transfer market. The former full-back, however, does give the benefit of the doubt to Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen, who are the new arrivals at Manchester United.

Speaking on Sky Sports, the former player-turned-pundit was quoted as saying the following:

He added:

It is worth mentioning that United have signed just three players in the summer transfer window so far. Tyrell Malacia was joined by Eriksen and Martinez prior to the start of the 2022-23 season.

However, there have been recurring issues at the club despite the arrival of a new manager in Erik ten Hag. The likes of Harry Maguire and Marcus Rashford have carried their poor run of form from last season into the new one.

Manchester United take on Liverpool next in the Premier League

Manchester United will take on arch-rivals Liverpool in the Premier League on August 22 at Old Trafford. The Red Devils haven’t had the best of times against the Reds in the league recently.

Liverpool secured a 9-0 aggregate win over Manchester United over the course of two league games last time around. Jurgen Klopp’s side secured a 5-0 win at Old Trafford before beating United 4-0 at Anfield earlier this year.
