Gary Neville’s crushing assessment of Man Utd’s problem area Gary Neville believes Ole Gunnar Solskajer needs a whole new defensive line after Manchester United were humbled by Barcelona on Tuesday night. It was United’s fifth defeat in seven games, but it was the manner of the defeat which has set alarm bells ringing as United were outclassed losing 3-0 on the night and 4-0 on aggregate.

He told beIN SPORTS: “The coaching staff will see there’s a massive gulf between Europe’s best teams and where Manchester United are at. Manchester United need to revamp their squad – there is no doubt about that. “[Solskjaer] needs a new defence in its entirety I would say.” The post Gary Neville’s crushing assessment of Man Utd’s problem area appeared first on teamtalk.com.
