Gary Neville brands Manchester United 'a farce' and questions if Erik ten Hag wants to join

Gary Neville has branded Manchester United 'a farce' and questioned whether Erik ten Hag wants to join the club this summer.

United suffered defeat on Saturday at Everton after a deflected Anthony Gordon strike handed the home side all three points. The result left United's Champions League hopes hanging by a thread with Ralf Rangnick's side now six points off fourth.

The MEN Sport revealed last week that Ajax are expecting Ten Hag to leave the club for United this summer. It's also understood that the 52-year-old has already been interviewed for the role.

Speaking on his podcast for Sky Sports, Neville did not hold back when asked about the state of his old team. He said: "I've got very few words left for Manchester United.

"No anger, no comment anymore. They are a bit of a farce; you almost expect it from them. The players are taking Ralf Rangnick down with them. They are bad.

"They've got to get to the end of the season as quickly as possible. The reality is that any kind of performance in the last week against Leicester and Everton and they would have been in top four, but they haven't got the spirit or the fight.

"When I look at Manchester City and Liverpool, they have humble football players; no over-inflated egos, they understand their position, the team comes first. There isn't one Manchester United player that would get into any of those two teams, so why would you have an over-inflated ego, think you didn't have to work hard, or be spiritless?

"I don't see anything anymore. I've read in the Sunday papers that Erik ten Hag wants all of his demands met or else he won't come to the club. Imagine if they can't get Ten Hag
