Manchester United are criticised by pundit Gary Neville after conceding early in the second half against Fulham at Craven Cottage. Fulham score as Manchester United’s defending goes wrong, resulting in a bizarre own goal that puts United under immediate pressure.
Neville’s comments, highlighted by multiple outlets, focus on the manner and timing of the concession, which he describes as among the worst periods he has seen from the team. In the second-half aftermath, he argues that the performance that leads up to the goal is unacceptable, drawing particular attention to the defensive lapse rather than the game’s broader context.
Across the two reports, the central point is consistent: Neville’s strongest criticism is directed at Manchester United’s response and defensive concentration around the moment Fulham take the lead. While the outlets differ in the intensity of quoted phrasing, both attribute the assessment to Neville following the same incident during the match.
