Gary Neville blasts Ruben Amorim’s tactics after Manchester United’s 1-1 draw with Wolves

Gary Neville has launched an attack on Ruben Amorim’s tactics after Manchester United suffered a disappointing 1-1 draw with Wolverhampton Wanderers on Tuesday night. 

The Red Devils were expected to breeze past Wolves, who are yet to win in the Premier League this season. 

However, United produced a lacklustre display, squandering a brilliant opportunity to secure maximum points at Old Trafford. 

Neville hit out at Amorim for reverting to his 3-4-2-1 formation, rather than continuing with the 4-2-3-1 system that delivered a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United on Boxing Day. 

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “This isn’t right again.

“I think I’ve watched enough United over this last five or six weeks. I’ve watched six out of their last seven games to know what looks right and what doesn’t, and I’m really surprised.

“[Joshua] Zirkzee on this right side having to chase back to right-back almost, [Diogo] Dalot right wing back, Ayden Heaven right centre back, [Patrick] Dorgu at left back where he’s not been playing well.

“All of it just isn’t as good as it was in the last couple of games where they’ve played in different positions, and we should be okay to say that.

“I think that’s what the fans are thinking inside this stadium. They’re in exactly the same place as we are.” 

United should have won comfortably against Wolves, who had lost 11 successive league matches before Tuesday. 

Zirkzee’s deflected shot broke the deadlock in the 27th minute, but Ladislav Krejci equalised on the cusp of half-time.

The home supporters continued bellowing ‘attack, attack, attack’ in the second half as their team struggled to create chances.

Patrick Dorgu scored the winner against Newcastle, but he struggled to make an impact at left wing-back last night.

Diogo Dalot was poor, while Matheus Cunha faded badly as the game progressed. The home fans made their feelings known at full-time. 

United will look to bounce back on Sunday when they visit Leeds United.
