Gary Neville has ripped into five Manchester United players during his former side\u2019s Carabao Cup clash with Newcastle. The Magpies took an early 2-0 lead in the clash as pressure continued to mount on the shoulders of Erik ten Hag.<\/p>\n
The Red Devils have endured a miserable start to the season, and matters appear to be heading from bad to worse. Miguel Almiron opened the scoring at Old Trafford in the 29th minute after a swift counter-attack – spearheaded by Tino Livramento – saw the ball played through to the Paraguay international to squeeze past Andre Onana.<\/p>\n
Lewis Hall then doubled Newcastle\u2019s just six minutes later after the former Chelsea star fired a fierce volley into the far corner after Harry Maguire\u2019s headed clearance. Despite the top-quality finish by the 19-year-old, Neville was quick to highlight the poor work from several United players in the build-up to the goal.<\/p>\n
The Magpies were awarded a free-kick in their own half before quickly feeding the ball down the left, catching several United players off-guard as they were pre-occupied by protesting to referee Robert Jones about the initial decision.<\/p>\n

If we go back to the free-kick here, watch Manchester United when they give it away, watch them five players. Look at them. They\u2019re just sleeping, they\u2019re complaining to the referee, whinging. And whilst they\u2019re whinging, Newcastle are winning.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s a wonderful, wonderful strike. Lewis Hall is a big talent, such a controlled, smooth volley. As soon as that free-kick was given away, the five of them were turning round and having a go at the referee whilst Newcastle were playing. It\u2019s schoolboy stuff, like under-9s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
