Gary Neville explains how the Glazers are 'ruining' Manchester United players

Gary Neville has criticised the Glazer family and Todd Boehly after their respective clubs struggled to pick up positive results in the early stages of the season.

Manchester United ended a run of three consecutive defeats with a win over Burnley last weekend, with Tuesday's Carabao Cup win over Crystal Palace seeing them record back-to-back victories for the first time this season.

Chelsea have also struggled to find form despite another summer of heavy spending. They sit 14th in the Premier League table and have only won once in the league this season, beating newly-promoted Luton Town 3-0 at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues were beaten 1-0 by Aston Villa at the weekend, with some suggesting new boss Mauricio Pochettino is already under pressure. Speaking on his new Stick to Football podcast, Neville claimed the issues at both clubs have been caused by their respective owners.

He said: "I think it is cultural. If you see what is happening at United and Chelsea there are so many similarities. They are ruining players that are being signed as good players.

"Take Harry Maguire. Harry Maguire was wanted by Manchester City, by the way. These players who have come to United have been ruined and coaches have been ruined and it is happening at Chelsea over the last 18 months with [Graham] Potter, [Frank] Lampard.

"Pochettino we know is a fantastic coach but he is struggling at the start as well. Surely it comes culturally from the top."

United will hope they have turned a corner after two wins from two games Erik ten Hag's men followed up the win over Burnley with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace in
