Neville’s comments come just days after the 46-year-old, now a Sky Sports pundit and commentator, had warned that his former club could end up finishing in the bottom half if they sold Ronaldo.
“I genuinely think that if they don’t bring players in in these next couple of weeks or if they bring poor players in, and he leaves, I genuinely think they could finish in the bottom half of the table,” he told Sky Sports Monday Night Football.
“I think it’s a bottom half of the table team. That’s a massive statement and could look stupid at the end of the season.
“They’re absolutely demoralised and shot to pieces, I think it’s really bad in there. Ten Hag in pre-season had got them to a really confident level, but basically they’ve gone back to default and the old things have come back.”
