Gary Neville makes stunning Erik ten Hag claim as Manchester United labelled a “disgrace”
Gary Neville has made a stunning claim about Erik ten Hag as Manchester United fell to an embarrassing defeat against Tottenham Hotspur.
Manchester United fell to their third Premier League defeat in six games as Erik ten Hag’s men lost 3-0 against Tottenham Hotspur.
The tie started with Spurs gaining an early goal through Brennan Johnson, and the North London side continued their onslaught on André Onana‘s goal throughout the first half.

After 42 minutes, Bruno Fernandes was sent off after the referee deemed he had put in a reckless challenge on James Maddison, and from there, the tie fell apart.
Tottenham doubled their lead early in the second half, and despite the side’s best efforts, Spurs added a third with 15 minutes to play through Dominic Solanke.
Speaking just after Fernandes was sent off in the first half, former United captain Gary Neville made a rather stunning claim that the first half against Tottenham was the worst half of football he’s seen United play under the Dutchman.
“It isn’t clever. That’s no good. He’s gone knee-high. He’s not going to get away with it,” Neville said on Sky Sports when reviewing Fernandes’ challenge.
“I think he slips. It looks bad because he’s gone in just under knee-high.
“It’s not as bad as I initially thought, but it sums up United in the first half, who have been an absolute disgrace. Probably one of the worst halves I’ve seen under Ten Hag, and that’s saying something.
“He can’t believe what he’s watching. I can’t believe what I’m watching, it’s awful. It really is bad.
“I’m not even talking about scoring goals – I’m talking about the basics. They look shot to pieces, the lot of them.”
Following the loss, United will now turn their attention back to the Europa League, where they will travel to face Portuguese side Porto on Thursday evening.
