We’ve all grown used to Gary Neville staring blankly into the camera and lamenting Manchester United’s misfortune, but even by the Red Devils’ legendary high standards of haranguing, his assessment of Sunday’s defeat to Tottenham was noteworthy.

The former Atletico Madrid striker missed out on a Premier League move this summer, but now has the perfect chance to showcase his talent.

He remarked, “They need to take control of that dressing room.” “It was the worst part of the first half. It’s a sobering and shocking day. For [Erik] Ten Hag, this is a very terrible day… They have been utterly shameful. I think this is one of Ten Hag’s poorest performances to date. That is quite a statement. It is very awful. I’m amazed at how low they’ve fallen today.”

Ten Hag also tried, in vain, to appease his detractors during prime time by requesting additional time to make things right. “Ten Hag is verbally unwell. What game he was watching is unknown to me. “The final lap is a loser’s lap.”

ex-Premier League striker Chris Sutton replied, noting the plod around the pitch Manchester United undertook at the end of the game.

Unexpectedly, the club has announced that they are remaining with Ten Hag—at least for the time being—despite the fact that it feels like Ten Hag’s lowest point. The Red Devils manager has been granted a reprieve for the forthcoming matches against Porto and Aston Villa, as stated by The Telegraph. Still, it’s difficult to escape the impression that Ten Hag is currently living on borrowed time.
