Manchester United legend Gary Neville said the club, which lost 3-0 to Manchester City on Sunday, is a "graveyard of players". Neville, who is a commentator on Sky Sports, sharply criticised the structure of a club that has not won the Premier League for a decade and was thrashed last time out by neighbours Manchester.
"I honestly believe this toxicity that's existed at this club, and has done for years by the way, it just eats alive every manager that comes and every player that comes. Harry Maguire was going to go to Manchester City. Mason Mount was going to go to Liverpool. They come here and it's a graveyard for them," he said.
"Are we going to keep blaming the kids in the class (players) or are we going to blame the head teacher (owners)? We've seen great managers with great reputations and great players with great reputations come here and just die in front of our eyes. Why is that?," added Neville.
Neville's criticism of United's current form led him to claim that even the so-called Class of 92, which included David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and himself, would not work for this team either.
Manchester United are eighth after ten Premier League games, with 15 points, 11 points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur. Their situation in the Champions League is not much better, with 2 defeats and only 1 win, against Copenhagen, in the first 3 rounds.
