Gary Neville has reportedly aimed another jibe at Manchester United squad following their humiliating 4-1 defeat to Newcastle United.
Goals from Sandro Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes, and Harvey Barnes dealt Ruben Amorim’s team their 14th loss of the season, they are now only three points above of West Ham United in 17th place in the Premier League standings.
According to 90min, after the final whistle, Neville gave his analysis of the match. He acknowledged that there is no way to doubt the degree of effort put forth by this United team.
However, he maintained that the players are just not good enough to stay above the bottom half of the standings.

“They’re not a very good team, simple as that,” he told NBC Sports.
“There have been Manchester United teams over the years when the biggest problem has been that they’ve not given it their all. The problem with this group of players is that they’re giving it their all.
“I don’t think there’s a lack of effort. They’re so below the standard and quality you need at that football club.
“Other than Bruno Fernandes and Amad Diallo maybe, I can’t think of any of them that I would hang my hat on. It’s a really desperate situation because the squad is so poor in quality.
“They’ve got old and young players that are nowhere near it and then there’s a group of players in the middle. It’s a worrying situation.”
United are set to host Olympique Lyonnais in the second-leg of the UEFA Europa League quarter final on Thursday following a 2-2 draw at the Groupama stadium last week.
