Manchester United legend, Gary Neville has revealed that the club has now become a graveyard for players and coaches, Sportivationng.com reports.
The Red Devils have struggled for form and consistency in the new season, losing six matches in all competitions including their first two Champions League matches.
Subsequently, the poor form has put Erik Ten Hag under pressure which has drawn sympathy from Gary Neville.
“I feel very sorry for the manager, I know a lot of people will say he’s got to do a lot better, but there are a lot of big problems at the club that managers have found over the last ten years,’ Neville told talkSPORT.
“I think until those problems are solved we’ll still continue to see underperforming teams, underperforming players. It’s become a graveyard for coaches and players – it’s not too strong a term.
“There are very few players that excel at Manchester United in this last ten years. They were all great players when they came to the club, they were all wanted by other clubs.
“They won these players off of other clubs and then they end up coming to Manchester United and they end up not succeeding and not performing to their levels, why is that?
‘It’s because it’s not culturally correct to accept players in the way that it should do and we (United) need to get that right.”
Gary Neville won eight Premier League trophies for Manchester United between 1992 and 2011, making over 400 appearances.
Ten Hag now has the same loss ratio as Ralf Rangnick, who was in charge on an interim basis in 2022.
Rangnick lost seven out of his 24 Premier League matches, while Ten Hag has lost 13 out of his first 45 games.
The former Aiax manager led Manchester United to a third place finish in the Premier League last season and Carabao Cup glory.
Manchester United will be back in action against Brentford at Old Trafford on Saturday.
