Gary Neville criticizes Manchester United’s performance in their draw at Fulham and urges interim manager Michael Carrick to stop defending the players. Multiple outlets report Neville’s comments follow another “troubling” showing from United, with his remarks framed as a direct instruction to Carrick.
The sources agree Neville characterizes United’s display in negative terms, including describing it as an “absolute disgrace.” While the outlets vary slightly in wording, they consistently report Neville’s focus on Carrick’s public justification of performances rather than on any single tactical adjustment, arguing that continued defense of the players is no longer appropriate. The overall coverage presents Neville as calling for a change in the way the team’s shortcomings are addressed and communicated after the Fulham result.
