After The Defeat Vs Everton, Manchester United Legend Says The Red Devils Are Too Fast To Fast

JAKARTA - Manchester United legend Gary Neville said the Red Devils' poor performance in a 0-1 defeat to Everton was unacceptable and smelled a quick smell of complacency.

Manchester United have been one player ahead since the 13th minute after midfielder Everton Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping her teammate, Michael Keane, in a strange red card.

However, they failed to take advantage of it. The hosts fell behind Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's goal just before the first half. The visitors were able to maintain their lead thanks to Manchester United's poor performance and several Jordan Pickford's goalkeepers.

Ruben Amorim's team should be able to move up to fourth place if they win. However, now they remain in 10th position, given the tight competition in the Premier League, with only five points separating Chelsea in second place with Liverpool in 12th position.

Neville believes the potential to be in the top four is already embedded in the minds of the players before the game and can be seen from his performances.

"It's as if they already imagined they would be in the Champions League position. They had thought it might be before the game."

"It just smells of self-satisfaction, they didn't do it from the start, it was bad for Manchester United."

"I think they've been much better in recent weeks, it might lead us back to Brentford (loss 1-3)."

"You can't move from the fighting spirit they show in certain matches to that. It just erodes confidence, it erodes trust."

"We're trying to build trust in a manager, we're trying to build trust in a team."

"The fans ridiculed together at the end of the game, it was tough, and it should have been. It was a very bad performance," Gary Neville said on his podcast.

Gary Neville further said that Manchester United seemed to have stepped forward two or three steps and felt a little bit better, but in fact that brought them back to the start again.

"You can lose a football game, but you can't lose like that. It's far from good enough, it's unacceptable," he said.

Manchester United were forced to play a forgotten player, Joshua Zirkzee, due to injuries suffered by Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha.

The Dutchman had a golden opportunity with a header blocked brilliantly by Pickford.

Neville insisted that losing two favorite center-forwards was not a reasonable reason and praised Everton's mentality when playing with 10 people.

"Fortunately (Sesko and Cunha's injuries), there is no reason. I don't tolerate that at all. Everton dominates them with 11 players and with 10 players, with different means of domination."

"They dominate through struggle and enthusiasm," said Neville again.
