Gary Neville calls out the Glazers once again, as Man Utd drop points

Gary Neville was left unhappy with Manchester United, after their loss to West Ham United on Sunday night, even blaming the Glazer family.

It was yet another poor evening away from Old Trafford for Erik ten Hag's side as they again stumbled in their hopes of finishing in the Premier League's top four.

They had lost to Brighton on Thursday night, as Roberto de Zerbi's side took revenge from the FA Cup semi-final, and were in need of a win at the London Stadium.

However, David de Gea's awful goalkeeping error, and a particularly poor second half, contributed to the latest loss away from home.

The back-to-back negative results leaves Ten Hag's side just a point clear of Liverpool, who are on a roll after winning six games in-a-row.

United still have a game in hand over their rivals, with just four games to go, so it remains in their hands but it was a poor performance in London.

Neville certainly wasn't pleased with the loss, but rather than place the blame at the manager's feet, or even with the players, he blamed the Glazers.

"United so poor in this game," the former United captain said on Twitter.

"ETH seeing more of the players in these situations is a positive. Allows him to sort out who he wants on the bus.

"The real disgrace are the Glazers. Are they waiting for the last game at OT to pass??? It would be typical of them. Weak and shirking accountability and responsibility to the end!

"Members of staff on and off the pitch are in an uncertain position waiting for new owners! Let alone recruitment and what budget their is going to be! This should have been done!

"Classless to the end!"

Of course, Neville's favourite sparring partner, Jamie Carragher, wasn't having any of it, questioning Ten Hag's team selection and transfer policy.

He wasn't the only one pointing out the problems with the Sky pundit's view. "Glazers fault De Gea can’t catch a ball. They’re not good owners but the constant blaming of them for every loss is pathetic," said one fan.

"Thank God, you didn’t blame Glazers for your awful managing career at Valencia," argued a second.

A third questioned, "What have the Glazers got to do with what just happened?"

"This is on ETH and the players not Glazers," added another.

And a fifth stated, "Let's stop blaming the Glazers every time we lose. Yes we should have more strength in depth but the players out there seriously underperformed today and that's nothing to do with the Glazers."

Whilst Neville may be wrong to blame the Glazers for Sunday's loss, or last Thursday's, which are more likely to do with United's players running out of legs late in the season, his overall criticism is understandable.

He has been talking about the lack of movement on the sale of the club for a number of weeks, and it's not the first time he has called them 'classless.'

The Glazers allowed the sale to go to a third auction round and are still yet to pick a preferred bidder, amidst speculation they want to stay and find a minority investor.
