Legend tips Rúben Amorim to trouble Man United after Fulham draw | OneFootball

Gary Neville paid close attention to Manchester United's 1-1 draw against Fulham in the second round of the Premier League and, after Wayne Rooney criticized Ruben Amorim, it was Gary Neville's turn, also a former player of the Red Devils, to offer urgent advice to the former Benfica player.

"My initial optimism was slightly shaken because I felt that some old scars were reappearing and opening up," began the former Manchester United defender on his podcast.

Next, the sports commentator highlighted the flaws in Amorim's team, pointing to the goal and midfield of the club: "I think the goalkeeper still looks very unstable on corner crosses, which cannot continue, because that anxiety increases, and then, in the midfield, I think United has to do something now. He (Amorim) started with Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes, then brought Mason Mount back and Ugarte to play in front of them, which shows that he is really the fourth option. I would like to think that Mainoo could take on that role, but it is quite clear that, at the moment, Ruben Amorim is not counting on him."

Gary Neville considers the absence of Mainoo in the midfield a problem that Amorim needs to resolve as quickly as possible: "That means it's going to be a problem, so they will have to solve it now. The two in the middle get exposed when the front three are a bit further forward and the five in defense are pushed a little back."

Finally, the Manchester United legend noted that the English team became weaker after the substitutions, focusing on Amorim's most recent signing: "I said this last week and it's a bit worrying: Fulham got much stronger when they made their substitutions, I really thought United got worse when they made theirs. Let's be honest: Sesko, at the moment, is far behind in terms of physical preparation or game rhythm."
