Gary Neville doesn’t hold his tongue when criticizing Manchester United. The former soccer player, now a television commentator, analyzed the dynamics of the team after the disaster suffered against Brentford (4-0), although this time it was not as smart with the players as with the sports management .
The Englishman does not hesitate to flog property for his transfer policy. According to his calculations, United have spent almost €1.5bn on new players in the last 10 yearsa pharaonic figure not accompanied by sporting achievements.
“Manchester United has become a graveyard of footballers. Players are even considering whether they want to come to the club. You can’t attract players,” the former defender told Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football.
Neville checked the 33 signatures were made at this time and divided them into three groups: green (successful), amber (borderline) and red (failed). Out of all of them, he agrees with only two.
“One of your problems Manchester United for 10 years has been stumbling between coaches and strategies. That became a big problem. We did a little exercise where we looked at the top signings at the club over the last 10 years, which have left players as the third goalkeeper. We’re not even counting some of the younger players, but more than £1.25bn has been invested,” he said.
“We think there have only been two signings, so far, that have been good value and performed at a level. Bruno Fernandes It’s gotten a little out of hand, but given the numbers it’s hit over two seasons, I’d have to say it worked, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic It works,” Neville said.
In the second block names like Ander Herrera, Luke Shaw, Nemanja Matic and also Cristiano Ronaldo will appear.
“Ronaldo is a green, but what happened in the past month, that he wanted to leave and the confusion, the stories that happened, that should make him amber. This could be due to its performance, value, price or simply its behaviour,” explains Neville.
“75 percent did not work. 20% are amber in color. Only four or five percent worked; That was a horror movie from a recruiting standpoint.”
“I know there’s a big need to blame the players and we put a lot of blame on the players. I was happy with a lot of those signings., even last year with Sancho, Varane and Ronaldo, great signings. When Di María arrived, we thought, “it will be a signing. But it has become a grave for the players,” he insisted.
