Gary Neville completely tears Erik ten Hag apart following 'abysmal' performance in huge post-match rant

Gary Neville has spoken out against Erik ten Hag after Manchester United's brutal 3-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

United suffered perhaps their worst loss of the season on Saturday as they were completely dominated by Spurs in a 3-0 loss at Old Trafford.

Goals from Brennan Johnson, Dejan Kulusevksi and Dominic Solanke, alongside a red card for captain Bruno Fernandes, secured the three points for the visitors and left United bruised and embarrassed.

After the match, former player Neville spoke out against United manager Ten Hag, and he didn't hold back.

Speaking on Sky Sports after the match, the former defender questioned if United players still trusted Ten Hag.

He said: "Are the players not buying into what Erik ten Hag is telling them to do? Or do they not believe in it?

"One thing that I can say is that their application towards doing it was abysmal and the most worrying thing was on Wednesday night, Eriksen's comments that he felt that FC Twente wanted it more, they were more hungry.

"That is a player that is in the middle of that dressing room who I would suggest is very well respected by the rest of his colleagues and by the manager and he's questioning the motivation and the attitude of his players.

"We've seen it here today, they really didn't put the effort in in the first half."

Neville then went on to liken United's current situation to other moments in recent history where, in the final games of a manager's time with the club, it appears that the players are disheartened or unmotivated.

He continued: "In the past when Manchester United have been in this position where a manager has been under pressure, the players sometimes have felt the pressure and strained and they look drained and lacking in belief and that can mean they look like they aren't working hard.

"I don't believe any player goes out onto a pitch and wants to not play well, so i'm torn here about why Eriksen has said that about his teammates, because what we've seen out there in that first half today supports it."
