Gary Neville has slammed Manchester United’s midfield as ‘non-existent’ after the Red Devils kick-started their Premier League season with a 1-0 win over Wolves.
United limped to their first English top-flight victory of the new season as Old Trafford celebrated taking three points in their season-opening clash.
Neville was speaking post-match on Sky Sports when he explained Erik ten Hag’s side had failed to impress against a struggling Wolves team.
Neville said: ‘Manchester United’s midfield was non-existent it emptied. It was a concern that was maybe sort of, if you watched Man United in pre-season, leaving Casemiro on his own when Mason Mount and Bruno Fernandes go forwards, It looks great.
‘But you’ve got to have a balance. And the front three don’t really work hard enough in a defensive sense, that would have been a real worry because Wolves have got a new manager only four days ago and a lot of misery around how their season may end up but they’ve been brilliant tonight.
