Gary Neville identifies worrying trait at Man Utd and SLAMS "pretenders" at club

Gary Neville says his "blood is about to boil" with what is happening at his beloved Manchester United at the moment.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer took the reins from Jose Mourinho back in December 2018 and immediately the club went on a tremendous run.

But since the Norwegian was handed the job on a permanent basis some of the old, negative traits at United have slipped back into the spotlight with the club losing five in seven - and Neville is furious.

"I'm simmering to be honest with you, my blood is about to boil," said Neville on Sky Sports.

"I didn't buy into that these players were always fantastic so when they started winning for Ole for those two or three months - when you think about the game against Liverpool a few weeks ago and everything was perfect.

"Now we are seeing what Ole talked about on Friday is that there has been a reality check, and I think it's a reality check for all of us.

Why Mike Phelan's future at Manchester United is in serious question   

"And what Louis [Saha] alludes to there about players not running back quickly. I went to Barcelona on Wednesday night and watched the game and I saw players pretending to run back. Making it look like they were running back but jogging.

"And I think what we are seeing now is where the players are. There is a lot of distraction around contracts and this is a big week."
