Gary Neville says Manchester United should be embarrassed

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes his former side should feel embarrassed by the damning comments made by Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl after a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Southampton striker Che Adams caught United captain Harry Maguire in no mans land to cancel out Jadon Sancho's early goal for the Red Devils.

Red Devils interim head coach Ralf Rangnick revealed that his players struggle to follow instructions as he reflected on their latest lacklustre performance and he wasn’t alone with his criticism of United’s display. 

Opposition manager Hasenhuttl even weighed in with his assessment of the poor showing, saying it was ‘not a big secret’ that United struggle to track runners when on the back foot.

‘It is not a big secret that when they lose the ball that the reverse gears are not the best from everybody,’ the Southampton head coach told reporters shortly after the final whistle.

‘Then you have the chance to create something and we did.'

‘The pressing for them was good in the beginning, but they aren’t used to doing it for more than 30 or 40 minutes, we came into the game after that.’

Reacting to Hasenhuttl’s comments, ex-United right-back Neville tweeted: ‘Imagine being a Manchester United player and having a respected opposition manager say that about you.’
