Gary Neville insists Manchester United have a major quality issue, so Ruben Amorim is invited to make a major tactical overhaul.
The Portuguese’s arrival may have brought a new sense of enthusiasm to the club. But while the fans were hoping to build upon the thrilling comeback victory over Manchester City a week ago, the Red Devils were eliminated from the Carabao Cup at the hands of Tottenham before being dismantled at home by Bournemouth who scored three at Old Trafford yet again.
Hence, United are back to Square One, as they find themselves wandering in the bottom half of the table by Christmas for the first time in over 30 years.
So according to Neville, the Reds simply don’t have a squad capable of coping with the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool, as a host of players aren’t worthy of a club in the size of Man United.
“He’s seeing what Manchester United fans have watched for 10 years, there has got to be a cultural overhaul,” said Neville during his appearance on Sky Sports. “It is a real torrid time, there is not a lot to like about performance levels or the way they play.
“They are all lads trying their best, it’s not a personal assault, but they are not good enough to play for Manchester United, because this club aims to be at the top. The same as Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea – those clubs aim to be top, but you have got to get there. It’s quite clear watching these players, they are not good enough.

Therefore the former United captain believes Amorim should have seen enough by now to understand that his players aren’t capable of interpreting his 3-4-3 formation which he must immediately drop.
“I think it’s a massive positive that Amorim is seeing what he’s got. In the past, there have been times where you can be kidded into thinking you have got a better group of players, because of decent results and moving up the league.
“But they are a mile away in every single way. Playing the way Amorim wants to play, with the 3-4-3, he’s going to have to change it. He’s given everyone a try by rotating the team and I do not think there will be many he’s watched and thought, ‘yes, I want you on the bus’.
“They are all very mediocre, and I don’t know how it’s happened – they are better than what they are showing, let’s be clear. But it’s a pattern.”
