Gary Neville slams Man Utd and tells Michael Carrick to stop defending underperformers

Gary Neville has labelled Manchester United "a genuine disgrace" following their 1-1 Premier League draw with Fulham, criticising the team's lack of effort and urging manager Michael Carrick to stop defending underperforming players. Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville said he had "never seen a Man Utd team walk out of possession as much as that," and warned Carrick he will face trouble if performances continue. The draw followed defeats to Manchester City and a Carabao Cup exit to Brighton. Matheus Cunha's late deflected strike rescued a point for United after Lisandro Martinez's early own goal, but Neville dismissed Carrick's claim that the team's energy was acceptable, describing players as "mannequins" lacking alertness.
