Speaking on his podcast<\/a>, Neville said: “It was a stunning watch. I was really critical after the Everton and West Ham games because of just the nature of the performance. I thought it was really bland.<\/p>\n Spreaker<\/p>\n This content is provided by Spreaker, which may be using cookies and other technologies.

I can live with that all day long in terms of a performance and a standard because they played with real intent, played the ball forward, always played at full pace.<\/p>\n “When United went 3-2 down, Ruben Amorim then went to 4-4-2 and did the right thing. Forget the system, he did the right thing. He got the right players on the pitch and were a massive threat.<\/p>\n Ruben Amorim reacts after the 4-4 result against Bournemouth.<\/p>\n “The second half was absolute mayhem. There were big boos after the West Ham and Everton games but there weren’t the big boos here after this game. There was disappointment but there were a lot of fans we’ve just seen who stayed in the stadium to clap the team because they can live with that.<\/p>\n “If you’re a kid coming to United – my two girls have come tonight, and they’ll be thrilled walking back. They won’t be happy that United haven’t won, but they’ll have seen a great game of football and that’s what you come to Old Trafford for.<\/p>\n Datawrapper<\/p>\n This content is provided by Datawrapper, which may be using cookies and other technologies.

It was almost a throwback to Sir Alex Ferguson – fast, attacking football, people being energetic, making runs forward, being positive being on the front foot, winning the ball back early. There as lots of that.<\/p>\n “But clean sheets are a big problem for them. They had problems at both ends of the pitch last season.<\/p>\n “We highlighted pre-match that they’re improving in attack and we saw that again tonight. I thought the attacking players for Manchester United were fantastic.<\/p>\n Bournemouth head coach Andoni Iraola gives an honest account of his side’s 4-4 draw against Manchester United<\/p>\n “They had a lot of young defenders out there tonight that didn’t help. I’ve been there, more often than not when you make a mistake as a young defender, it ends up in the back of your goal and that was the mistake tonight.<\/p>\n “Even though it ended up at 4-4 and Bournemouth should have won it at the end, Manchester United were by far the better team.<\/p>\n “That was the first time in a long time, and certainly under Amorim, that I felt like I was watching how Manchester United should be.<\/p>\n “Just wave after wave of attacks, counter-attacks, and almost the opposition feel like they’re getting sucked back into that box in front of the Stretford End. You can’t get out.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gary Neville hailed Manchester United’s 4-4 draw with\u00a0Bournemouth as “a stunning watch” while Jamie Carragher labelled their performance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":351428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-351427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=351427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/351427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/351428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=351427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=351427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=351427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
