The legend of United Neville Commentating for Sky Sports, he did not hold back his decision on the current team.

“You’re watching the worst pound-for-pound football club in the country,” he said. “They are so bad.”

Neville commented on a United squad worth around £659million after another summer of heavy spending.

Big name transfers including Manuel Ugarte and Matthijs de Ligt have so far failed to produce the quality required.

Apart from the ninth defeat of the season in the league, United also set a series of unwanted records against Newcastle.
