Gary Neville: Man Utd owners may question approach after heavy Liverpool defeat

Gary Neville believes Manchester United’s hierarchy may have to question whether they are on the right path after the chastening 3-0 home defeat to Liverpool.

The visitors punished an error-strewn display from United, with two goals from Luis Diaz and a Mohamed Salah strike securing a comfortable victory for Arne Slot’s side at Old Trafford.

Sky Sports pundit Neville said the manner of United’s loss has given the club’s hierarchy plenty of questions to answer in the coming months.

Neville said on Sky Sports: “Manchester United made terrible errors and Liverpool pounced on them Jurgen Klopp style, winning the ball high up the pitch and then devastating and precise.

“Mo Salah in particular with those two passes in the first half and the finishes were fantastic and the next one was always going to be important in the second half and United didn’t get it and Liverpool did.

“They fully deserved their victory today. It was a sobering day for Erik ten Hag and a sobering day for United’s players and I think the new ownership, sat in the stand en-masse, thinking: ‘Are we on the right path here?’

“That’s the question they will have to ask in the next few months.”
