Man Utd news: Carragher weighs in on Gary Neville’s scathing attack – ‘Can’t believe that’ | Football | Sport
Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has waded into Gary Neville’s scathing attack on a cluster of Manchester United stars who were spotted out and about in the days following their crushing Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid. England hero Gary Lineker also threw his hat into the ring on an issue which has broadly divided opinion.
United were frustrated by Atletico last week as Renan Lodi’s first-half header sealed a 2-1 aggregate victory. Having earned a draw out in Spain, many fancied the Red Devils to progress to the Champions League quarter-finals and boost their chances of qualifying for next year’s competition.
One win in their last five games has sparked concern among United fans as Ralf Rangnick struggles to make things click. Recent results have also left their top-four bid hanging by a thread going into the two-week international break.
With some Red Devils stars spotted gallivanting to various sports and social events following their troubling recent run, Neville ranted on social media: “I remember a time when United players, managers, executives wouldn’t be seen in their local Italian after a draw at home let alone getting knocked out of Europe. This last week we’ve seen a global tour of F1, Concerts, Cricket and UFC events. This lot are Tone Deaf!”

The likes of Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford were among those in the Red Devils squad to miss out. Southgate explained: “There are other attacking players in our squad who are ahead of him [Sancho] in our opinion.
“Jadon in the last few weeks his performances have improved but it is an area of the pitch where we have competition for places. With Marcus, he is in the same position as everyone else, whether they are in the squad or not they all have to play well in the next period, it is a difficult time for him, he is clearly not at his best.”
