Despite the win, club legend Gary Neville expressed significant concerns about the performance of certain players, particularly focusing on Joshua Zirkzee.
Neville, known for his candid commentary, questioned how Zirkzee, who was substituted after just 33 minutes, managed to secure a position at Old Trafford. He highlighted that the same deficiencies in Zirkzee’s play had led to his departure from previous clubs. Neville emphasized that Manchester United is facing serious challenges, stating that the club is in “serious trouble” and needs immediate attention.
To substantiate his critique, Neville shared video clips showcasing Zirkzee’s underwhelming performances, pointing out recurring mistakes that have not been addressed. This public scrutiny underscores the growing frustration among former players and fans regarding the club’s recruitment strategies and on-field performances.
Manager Ruben Amorim, who recently took over the reins at Manchester United, is now under pressure to reassess his squad selections and make necessary adjustments to improve the team’s dynamics. The club’s current trajectory has raised alarms, and Neville’s comments reflect a broader concern about the direction in which Manchester United is heading.
As the season progresses, it remains to be seen how the club will address these internal challenges and whether changes in player personnel or management strategies will be implemented to steer the team back on course.
