Gary Neville spotted Micah Richards ‘winding’ him upCredit: Sky SportsBut Phil Foden’s double and a late Erling Haaland strike turned the game around for the Premier League champions.Neville was quick to insist that United’s top-four hopes were still intact, despite falling 11 points behind fourth-placed Aston Villa. He even claimed the performance was “the best defensively from a discipline point of view in Erik ten Hag’s whole period at United”.However, he added: “In a perfect world they would be 20 to 30 yards further forward up the pitch, playing as compact as that. They were really at the edge of their box.READ MORE IN FOOTBALL”Rashford and Garnacho got so deep, they couldn’t then get up the pitch.”But there is something there today that meant they’ve addressed the carnage, gaps and chaos in midfield over the last few month.”That’s when former City star Richards spotted his opportunity to play host.First he quizzed Nev about his “confidence”, then about the impact of Luke Shaw’s injury absence.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSAnd, as actual Sky Sports presenter Kelly Cates tried to get a word in, Neville joked: “Is he winding me up here?”Unperturbed, Neville went on: “Some games after United, I’ve thought, ‘What the hell is that?’ Fifa President Infantino hails Scottish football thriller”At least today I saw that there was a plan and there was real attention to detail on how they were going to defend. “So today I think is something you can buy into more in terms of how they looked because sometimes in the last few weeks you think, ‘What they doing? Where are they all?'” But former United captain Roy Keane was no so impressed. Keane interjected: “But that’s where the standards have dropped. You’re almost praising them, they’ve lost. “The reason you’re at Manchester United is to perform in the big games and to compete against Man City and Liverpool. “But no, we’re sitting here going, ‘I thought they done alright, better shape.’ “They got beaten 3-1 and the last half an hour they were just hanging in there, they couldn’t get in a kick.” More

      Gary Neville says ‘my heart sank’ after seeing what Erik ten Hag did before Man Utd clash – but Carragher loved it

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville admitted he was heartbroken by Erik ten Hag’s angry reaction towards Jamie Carragher’s scathing analysis.Carragher pulled no punches while criticising United’s performance on Monday Night Football following their dismal 2-1 loss to Fulham at Old Trafford.Man Utd legend Gary Neville disagreed with Erik ten Hag’s response to Jamie CarragherCredit: Youtube – The OverlapCarracher ‘loved’ Ten Hag’s response as that could actually help Man UtdCredit: GettyThe Liverpool legend chastised the Red Devils’ midfield as there was a huge gap between the middle and the back which has allowed many other Premier League teams to run riot during counter-attacks this season.Ten Hag addressed that analysis before Wednesday’s FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest and hit back by claiming the pundit has been against his team from the start and is not always objective.The Dutch tactician’s response, though, didn’t sit well with Neville whose “heart sank” after hearing his statement.The ex-England international linked up with Carragher on The Overlap to discuss the recent incident and argued the ex-Ajax boss should have taken the high road.Read More on Man UtdNeville said: “I must admit that when I saw it appear, my heart sank a little, from a Manchester United perspective, that he was getting involved in that. “The reality is that he might be secretly or privately annoyed and think there are some points you [Carragher] made that are wrong.”But [he has to think], ‘We have conceded a lot of chances, I’m not going to win this one, we’ve just lost a game, got a big game against Nottingham Forest, let’s not look like I’m even interested in that’. That was my thinking.”Carragher also addressed Ten Hag’s response on his column at The Telegraph where he even stated he “loved” what he heard from the Dutchman.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSBut the legendary defender wasn’t at all sarcastic as he hinted that a fightback could indeed lead to a turnaround in results as well as performances.Carragher wrote: “My analysis on Sky’s Monday Night Football last week was intended to demonstrate why United are so inconsistent. ‘Oh my God!’ Jamie Carragher leaves Gary Neville and Jill Scott speechless with cooking confession”Manager Erik ten Hag had a go back for what he perceived as unfair criticism. “He felt I had been critical from day one. Actually it was from game two when his United team lost at Brentford – but it was directed at the players, not the manager.”But fair play to him for saying what he did. I have nothing but respect and admiration for managers who defend themselves and their teams. “If creating a siege mentality at United leads to positive results and improved performances, it is the perfect response.” More
