"When Ruben Amorim first came I was heartened by them playing three at the back but every single game he changes the back three, which tells me he is not sure which back three he should play, Neville said on Sky Sports. And he changes the back five. There were a lot of individual errors out there today. Luke Shaw had one of the worst games I have seen him have. All three goals he could have done better."
"This United team lack that real quality. They struggle defensively. There are obviously issues. You talk about the system but the manager is sticking to his guns he is not budging. You look at the results and the points per game, goals for and against. It is not good reading. It does concern me. As soon as the game starts you are worried but you get that feeling against any decent team."
Manchester United sit 14th in the Premier League after four games following a heavy defeat at the Etihad. The fixture list includes Chelsea at Old Trafford, Brentford away and Sunderland before the October international break, leaving nine points available. Gary Neville criticised Ruben Amorim for constantly changing the back three and back five, citing individual errors and a very poor Luke Shaw performance where he could have done better for all three goals. Roy Keane expressed concern about Amorim’s record since replacing Erik ten Hag, noted defensive struggles, a lack of quality and only four goals scored, two from penalties.
