Gary Neville has launched a scathing tirade at Manchester United’s players following their latest heavy defeat.<\/p>\n
The former United captain and Sky Sports pundit, who watched Sunday\u2019s 3-0 loss to Bournemouth at Old Trafford from the commentary box, said “some of them walk around like they\u2019re King William\u2026 they\u2019re not, they\u2019re nothing”.<\/p>\n
United boss Michael Carrick\u2019s job has been left hanging by a thread after his side followed up Wednesday\u2019s 4-0 Champions League humbling in Como with a sixth defeat in 12 games in all competitions this season.<\/p>\n
Neville said on his Gary Neville podcast: “There\u2019s a few of them that aren\u2019t that professional. There\u2019s a couple of them\u2026 I live in Manchester, they\u2019re not that professional, some of them.<\/p>\n
“I\u2019ve got no time for them. There\u2019s a few of them that don\u2019t go to bed at the right time. Don\u2019t eat the right things. Don\u2019t think about Manchester United every single minute of every single day.<\/p>\n
“They are not living and breathing this football club, as they should be, like professionals should.<\/p>\n
“And why? Why? Because it\u2019s gone to their heads. But they still walk around like they\u2019re King William\u2026 they\u2019re not, they\u2019re nothing.<\/p>\n
“Nothing, some of those players. I can\u2019t believe the\u2026 lack of standards. There was a banner in the first half that was held up in the Stretford End \u2013 ‘standards\u2019. They went a long time ago.”<\/p>\n
Neville defended Carrick, describing his former team-mate as “a brilliant man” with “integrity, credibility, decency, professionalism”, laying the blame for United\u2019s Premier League slide squarely at the players.<\/p>\n
He added: “He\u2019s not been able to get a tune out of them and they\u2019ve turned on him. I know that because if Bruno\u2019s turned on him publicly, with that little statement, imagine what they\u2019re like behind the scenes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gary Neville has launched a scathing tirade at Manchester United’s players following their latest heavy defeat.
