Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, responded to Gary Neville’s comments about his team following the goalless Premier League draw with Manchester City at Old Trafford on Sunday.
Manchester City dominated possession, but it appeared neither side showed the seriousness to take home the needed three points.
The display from both teams infuriated Manchester United legend Neville, who minced no words in criticizing both sides’ lack of willingness to take the initiative.
Neville said on Sky Sports commentary, “They’re all so obsessed with shape… nothing off-the-cuff is happening in lots of games… This has got to stop…”
Speaking to the press after the game, Amorim was asked about Neville’s assessment.
The Portuguese manager simply responded, “I understand. I understand that Gary Neville is critical of everything!”
The draw meant that Manchester City remain in fifth position in the league, behind Chelsea, who also drew 0-0 with Brentford in an earlier game.
With seven games to go, United stay 13th, with 38 points from 31 outings.
