Gary Neville spots Man United 'red flags' and issue Ruben Amorim must fix

Gary Neville has explained why Ruben Amorim will be fully aware of the 'red flags' at Manchester United.

Amorim's reign as United head coach began on Sunday with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich Town. The stalemate leaves United in 12th place in the Premier League table and will next face Everton in the top flight after taking on Bodo/Glimt in the Europa League.

Before Amorim's appointment, United had won just three of their first 10 Premier League matches this season, as well as four defeats. The draw with Ipswich still leaves United in the bottom half of the Premier League table but just six points adrift of the top four spots.

Neville was asked if he spotted any concerns with individual performances from some United players at Portman Road. The United legend explained why Amorim will now have spotted some of the issues that need addressing.

"The red flags that were there yesterday would have been there probably for the last few months and the last season and a half of a team that are very difficult to actually like watching," Neville said on Sky Sports' Monday Night Football.

"They don't want criticism. But you watch them play, even yesterday, the new system, and you look at Ipswich, who are very near the bottom of the league, who look more organized, better coached. They look like they've got more appetite for the game,
