‘The squad is so poor’ – Gary Neville says he only trusts two Man Utd players
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has raised serious concerns over the quality of players in Ruben Amorim’s current squad, stating that only two individuals stand out as reliable.
Following a crushing 4-1 defeat away to Newcastle, United’s season hit a new low, leaving them in 14th place and mathematically guaranteed to record their worst-ever Premier League points tally—even if they win their remaining six matches.

With domestic ambitions in tatters, the Europa League remains United’s final opportunity to salvage anything from this season.
A 2-2 first-leg draw against Lyon keeps their quarter-final hopes alive, but immense pressure is now resting on Amorim’s shoulders ahead of Thursday night’s decisive clash.
Behind the scenes, United’s board is reportedly preparing to back the manager with significant funds for a full squad rebuild this summer, aiming to restore the club’s former glory.
Despite that, Neville believes the problems at Old Trafford are deeply rooted and far more complex than just spending money.
Speaking on NBC Sports, he admitted he doesn’t even know where to begin with the current squad. From goalkeeper to the front line, the former right-back sees glaring deficiencies across the board and called for a long-term recruitment strategy to begin addressing the club’s issues.
Neville singled out just two players he fully trusts: team captain Bruno Fernandes and winger Amad Diallo.
He stressed that while the squad is not lacking in effort, the overall standard of quality is well below what is expected at a club of Manchester United’s stature.
He described the current crop as a mix of aging veterans, inexperienced young players not ready for top-level football, and a middle group lacking the consistency or leadership to carry the team forward.
Amorim, meanwhile, remains defiant in the face of criticism. After the heavy loss at St. James’ Park, he addressed the media and made it clear that public opinion doesn’t faze him.
Acknowledging the painful reality of losing, he emphasized the need to focus all attention on Thursday’s second-leg tie against Lyon. He admitted the league table speaks for itself but insisted that handling defeat is one of the most difficult aspects of being in charge.
Manchester United’s struggles have drawn increasing scrutiny, not just from fans but also from former players and pundits. With the squad lacking identity and cohesion, the urgency to rebuild is greater than ever.
Neville’s comments echo a growing sentiment that United’s issues can’t be fixed overnight, and only a carefully executed long-term plan will bring the club back to competing at the highest level.
As attention turns to the crucial Europa League fixture, all eyes will be on whether Amorim’s squad can deliver a performance worthy of the club’s legacy or if another setback will deepen the crisis at Old Trafford.

‘We want him’ – Club chief confirms he wants to sign Man Utd outcast in permanent transfer
Andre Onana could remain in Turkey beyond his loan spell, with Trabzonspor keen to secure him on a permanent deal.
The 30-year-old moved to Trabzonspor after falling out of favour at Manchester United, who brought in Senne Lammens last summer. Since then, Lammens has established himself as the club’s first-choice keeper, paving the way for Onana’s temporary switch.
In Turkey, however, Onana has rediscovered his form and quickly become a key figure. He recently grabbed attention with a standout performance in the Turkish Cup, saving three consecutive penalties to help his side overcome Samsunspor and reach the semi-finals.
The moment sparked widespread reactions online, especially from United supporters recalling their earlier penalty shootout defeat to Grimsby Town, where Onana managed just one save.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan has openly expressed the club’s desire to keep the goalkeeper. He indicated that while Onana has his own career plans, the club would be eager to make the move permanent if the circumstances align, leaving the final decision in the player’s hands.
Back in England, United are expected to consider selling Onana, particularly with Lammens now firmly established as their number one. The club will likely aim to recover a significant portion of the £47.5 million they paid to sign him from Inter Milan in 2023, with two years still remaining on his contract.
Beyond his cup heroics, Onana has been a consistent presence in the league, starting every match for Trabzonspor and playing a vital role in their push for the title. His performances have earned strong praise in Turkey, with the club currently sitting third in the table, just six points behind leaders Galatasaray.

Man City place Arsenal ‘bottles’ for sale outside Etihad Stadium before 2025/26 Premier League decider
Manchester City appear to have kicked off the psychological battle ahead of their Premier League showdown with Arsenal.
In the build-up to the match, bottles branded with the Arsenal logo were reportedly being sold outside the stadium, priced cheaply and seemingly intended as a tongue-in-cheek way for home fans to mock the visiting supporters.
The stunt draws inspiration from a recent viral moment at Stamford Bridge, where a City fan was seen jokingly “drinking Arsenal tears” during their emphatic 3-0 win over Chelsea—a clip that quickly spread across social media.
With tensions already high given the importance of the fixture, the gesture adds another layer to the rivalry between the two sides. Arsenal, meanwhile, will be focused on responding where it matters most—on the pitch—as they aim to silence critics and deliver a strong result in what could be a defining game in the title race.

Bruno Fernandes responds to Manchester United star’s dig at Chelsea flop Alejandro Garnacho
Alejandro Garnacho faced criticism from his former Manchester United teammates following Chelsea’s latest Premier League setback.
A first-half goal from Matheus Cunha secured a narrow but important win for United, strengthening the position of Michael Carrick’s side in the race for Champions League qualification. Chelsea, meanwhile, continue to struggle, with the defeat marking their fourth consecutive league loss without finding the net.
Pressure is mounting on head coach Liam Rosenior, who only took charge a few months ago after replacing Enzo Maresca. While the club has not publicly wavered in its support, questions are beginning to emerge over several players, including Garnacho, whose performances have failed to meet expectations since his £40 million move from Old Trafford.
Reports suggest Chelsea could be open to offers for the 21-year-old after a difficult start to life at Stamford Bridge. He had an early opportunity to impress against his former side after coming on for the injured Estevao, but once again struggled to make an impact, finding it hard to break through a United defence that was missing several first-choice centre-backs.

Garnacho also received a hostile reception from United supporters during the match, and the reaction appeared to carry over beyond the pitch. After the game, Luke Shaw shared an image on social media showing himself standing over Garnacho following a challenge. Bruno Fernandes responded with a playful but pointed comment, while former teammate Alex Telles also joined in with reactions.
Chelsea’s broader struggles are becoming increasingly concerning. They now sit four points behind Liverpool in the race for fifth place, despite having played an extra game. The current run—four straight league defeats without scoring—is their worst in nearly three decades, with an even longer drought not seen since 1912.

Across all competitions, the form is equally worrying, with six losses in their last seven matches and 16 goals conceded during that stretch. A significant portion of their recent goals have come in a single outing against Port Vale, highlighting their lack of consistency in front of goal.
After the match, Rosenior admitted uncertainty about what failing to qualify for the Champions League could mean for his future. He acknowledged the result was difficult to take, especially given that Chelsea created numerous chances but failed to convert them. He pointed out that United capitalised on a limited opportunity, while his side were unable to make their attacking pressure count.
Despite the frustration, Rosenior emphasized the need for continued effort and improvement, insisting that the team must find a way to turn their form around before the situation worsens further.
