Following their draw against Manchester City, Gary Neville believes that Manchester United has to make five new signings in order to reach their goals.
On Sunday, Manchester United and Manchester City battled to a dull goalless draw at Old Trafford, which resulted in both teams receiving equal points.
Immediately following the final whistle, Neville went on a scathing diatribe in which he criticised the manner in which both sides had played.
Following the statements that Neville made on Sky Sports, Ruben Amorim responded to Neville in his news conference that took place after the match.
Immediately after his commentary stint, Neville made his way back to the studio, where he proceeded to fume about Man Untied while simultaneously instructing his former side to make five new recruits that would be suitable for Amorim’s style.
The ‘three up front’ and the ‘two wing-backs’ are ‘not good enough’ to play in Amorim’s 3-4-3 system, according to his assertions.
From the point of view of United, I can see why he has returned to playing in a low block. On the other hand, it is exactly what we have witnessed from Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and Erik Ten Hag,” he continued.
Every single one of them has arrived with the aim of playing high-press, high-energy football, but in the end, they inevitably wind up returning to playing low block in the most important games.
The reason that Ruben Amorim has done that today with the players that he has is because he does not have the players that are able to adjust to the new situation.
Immediately, they require five more participants, and this is before you even begin to consider the remainder of the situation.
Not only are the three players in the front line not good enough, but the two players on the wings are also not good enough. The team need five players. It is necessary for them to provide him with five players who are knowledgeable enough in this system to be able to play his system in the manner that he desires.
It would appear that Neville is making a reference to players like as Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, Diogo Dalot, and Patrick Dorgu, who has only been a member of the team for a few months.
Just three goals have been scored in the league so far this season by Hojlund, who paid £72 million to join Manchester United.
While Dalot has had difficulty playing wing-back, Garnacho has been inconsistent in his performance. Since his arrival from Lecce, Dorgu’s performance has been all over the place, with Martin O’Neill praising his performance against Nottingham Forest. His form has been up and down since he arrived.
As a result of Neville’s belief that Manchester United requires more additions this summer, Amorim has maintained his preferred 3-4-3 formation since his hiring in November of last year. This is due to the fact that Dorgu was brought in during the January transfer window.
Not only have the Red Devils only won two of their previous eight league games, but they are currently ranked thirteenth in the table.
