Gary Neville thinks that Manchester United must sign at least five players in summer to replace those who are not “good enough”.
The legend of United thinks that Ruben Amorim is paralyzed by the stars – apparently including the one that only reached winter.
United played a 0-0 dull draw with Derby Rivals Manchester City on Sunday, registering only two shots on the target in front of Old Trafford fans.
Neville was launched in a passionate rant after the match and said it was a “robotic” performance, an assessment to which Amorim applauded, calling the former back “Critique of everything”.
But Neville continued to tear his former club thereafter on Sky Sports, saying that five players must be replaced.
“From a united perspective, I understand why he returned to a low block. But that’s what we saw of Jose Mourinho, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Erik Ten Hag ”, he said.

“They all entered the intention of playing football with high pressure and high energy, but all end up returning to a low block in big games.
“I understand why Ruben Amorim did it today, with the players he has, because he did not have the players adapted.
“They need five new players right away before they even think of the rest.
“The three at the front are not good enough and both wings, they are not good enough. They need five players. They must serve it with five players who are good enough in this system to be able to play its system as it wishes.
Neville seems to call Rasmus Hojlund, Alejandro Garnacho, Joshua Zirkzee, Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu, who did not join the last transfer window.
Bruno Fernandes started in the three before, but it seems that Neville lets him hear how complementary he was. “He is only the real player of absolute quality of United,” said English.
While the misfortunes of the three attackers are well documented, Dalot presents himself less frequently, since he won the players of the year for the 2023-24 season.
Through 85 Premier League collective appearances this season, Hojlund, Garnacho and Zirkzee only managed 10 goals.

Their capacity on the ball is obvious and often greeted, but United was lower than the creation and risk taking.
Earlier this season, Hojlund lasted 10 p.m. and 19 minutes without finding the net.
What will encourage Amorim is that United appreciates something of an increase in results.
The Red Devils have lost only two of their last nine games in all competitions – once in the penalties against Fulham and the other against Nottingham Forest last week – but they only won three.
“In the moment, it’s always very difficult every day, but of course, you can imagine that the next season will be so different,” said Amorim on Sunday.
“This is why I always say that I am in a hurry because we suffer a lot. Everyone here suffers a lot with all these changes, and we have to show something next year.
“We have so many aspects to improve: accumulation, transition, decisions in the last third. Each player can improve. They are here because they have shown something in other clubs. They have the quality, but we are always a team that plays in transition and we have to spend more time in the last third to have more opportunities.
