MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville bizarrely claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo’s PECS are a problem for Erik ten Hag’s side.
The 37-year-old came on as a second half substitute for the Red Devils in their 3-1 victory against Arsenal at Old Trafford on Sunday.
But the Portugal international failed to get on the score sheet as he once again drew a blank in front of goal.
He is still yet to open his account for the 2022-23 campaign despite featuring in all six Premier League games, though he has started just once.
And it was at the other end of the pitch that he almost made a difference as his late error gifted the North London outfit the chance to halve their deficit.
The five-time Ballon d’Or winner attempted to chest down the ball to Fred at the edge of United’s box in the 92nd minute.

But it sailed over the head of the Brazilian, with it finding the feet of Gabriel Jesus before Emile Smith Rowe hit a snap shot narrowly over.
Speaking of the incident during his Sky Sports co-commentary, Neville said: “It was Cristiano Ronaldo’s pecs that was causing the problem.
“We’ve seen him with his top off.
“And when he played that one back to the middle of United’s defence, he caused United a bit of a problem.”

Football fans were left baffled by Neville’s claims, as one Twitter user remarked: “Why is Neville talking about Ronaldo’s pecs this guy is so weird.”
Another commented: “Gary Neville gushing over Ronaldo’s pecs there wtf is going on.”
A third added: “Why is Neville talking about Ronaldo’s pecs? Get this guy off the air man. Weirdo.”
It wasn’t just Neville that had Ronaldo on their mind, as his colleague Jamie Carrgher mocked the Real Madrid icon on social media.
Quick to make fun of his lack of goals this campaign, he tweeted: “‘What will happen to Man Utd without Ronaldo’s goals?'”
