Gary Neville claims he’s ‘tired’ of Man Utd & makes worrying prediction ahead of Chelsea & Liverpool games

Gary Neville has admitted he has grown ‘tired’ and ‘bored’ of watching Manchester United matches.

The Red Devils have endured a tough start to the season and are on the verge of crashing out of Europe, have already been eliminated from the Carabao Cup and have lost six of their opening 14 Premier League matches this term.

The latest came on Saturday night as Erik ten Hag’s side put in a woeful display away to Newcastle United, with Antony Gordon’s second-half strike wrapping up a 1-0 win for the Magpies. Speaking in the aftermath of that awful performance, Neville said it’s become painful to watch his old club.

“It’s well below par, it’s really disappointing,” he said on his Sky Sports podcast. “I feel like we’re in a cycle of the noise against the manager is starting to occur. There are the same noises that say ‘well surely we can’t get rid of another manager - we’ve got to get rid of the players because they are the ones that got rid of the other managers’.

“And then we turn to the owners – and I’m bored. I’ve become tired of my own club. I don’t want to do their games anymore, I don’t want to watch their games anymore, and that is the saddest indictment that you can have of your football club, when you become bored of watching them, when you become tired of watching them. And it’s not just me, a couple of people in the last couple of weeks [have said] ‘enough’s enough’.”

The loss to Newcastle continues United’s terrible record away at the league’s top sides, and the Red Devils haven’t won an away match at a top-eight opponent since Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in charge. Saturday’s defeat at St James’ Park also means United have lost all five matches against clubs in the top half of the table, and that record could be extended with fixtures against Chelsea and Liverpool in the next two weeks.

“That’s how I feel today,” Neville said. “I feel tired of watching them, and that’s a sad position to be in. I love that club and I love the excitement of football but I’m already fearing what’s going to happen at Anfield in two weeks, just purely because I think it could be a mess.

“I’m already fearing what’s going to happen on Wednesday night against Chelsea because it could be a mess. There’s no confidence, they’ve lost our confidence, the whole club has lost our confidence as fans.

“And in the media now we just don’t trust them either because the reality is they fall below par time and time again. Not good enough, definitely not good enough.”
