The Red Devils found themselves trailing early in the game following a lackluster first half. However, two second-half goals unexpectedly put them in the lead against the title chasers. Despite this, Mohamed Salah’s penalty late in the game secured a draw for Liverpool at Old Trafford. Neville expressed disappointment in United’s performance, particularly in their first-half display where they conceded numerous chances.
This frustrated the visitors, as they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities. Despite United’s subpar showing, they managed to make a comeback. Neville, who expressed a range of emotions, was critical of United’s performance, describing them as an “odd bunch.” He referenced a previous game against Aston Villa where United won 2-1 but were second best for long periods before securing the victory.
Neville’s comment highlighted United’s lack of control in games and their inability to maintain possession. He noted that although they have players who can win matches, they struggle to consistently deliver strong performances. This inconsistency was further emphasized by the team’s inability to string together a series of consistent performances under the previous manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. As Solskjaer was replaced by Erik ten Hag, the team continues to struggle to maintain a consistent performance level.
Furthermore, the team has been unable to put together a successful run of games under the new management.
