Gary Neville: Pundit picks out Man United’s great weakness after Leeds’ loss Manchester United fell to a disheartening 2-1 defeat to Leeds United at Old Trafford. After a break of more than three weeks, United were certainly ring rusty and fell behind after just four minutes when Noah Okafor struck . The Red Devils had a chance to go ten points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea but failed to take advantage of the Blues’ loss to Manchester City.
Second to everything Pundit Gary Neville reflected on the game to Sky Sports and lambasted United’s performance. He claimed, “let’s be clear, from minute one they balls get played in behind, they had runners in behind them, they got physically outmuscled, didn’t look like they were connecting. ” He continued, “the gaps, to be fair, between the midfield, the back and the front players has been really good under Michael Carrick , the distances.
That was missing tonight from minute one. Leeds United could either play it behind or through midfield. They just didn’t get anything right tonight Manchester United.
” Lack of depth Neville also highlighted that the squad is evidently a lot weaker than certain rivals, such as Manchester City. He asserted, “what it does demonstrate is that when you take two or three players out of the team… you know, I am looking at the bench before the game and I was thinking, you look at that City bench and then at United and I know they have a lot of injuries but it just demonstrates a bit of a reality check tonight for United. It was probably Michael Carrick’s most difficult game.
