Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 26 Oct, 08:27 · Archive

Gary Neville has criticised Manchester United players for not being professional enough, saying they are giving up on manager Michael Carrick.

Gary Neville has launched a scathing attack on Manchester United's players, accusing them of giving up on manager Michael Carrick. Speaking on Sky Sports, Neville contrasted Carrick's integrity and professionalism with what he described as the players' lack of standards, saying they walk around like 'kings' even though 'they are nothing'.

The criticism comes after United's 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday, extending their winless run to eight games. The club sits 16th in the Premier League with just one win in eight games. Captain Bruno Fernandes publicly criticised Carrick's tactics following a 4-1 defeat to Como in midweek and was subsequently dropped to the bench against Bournemouth. Lisandro Martinez also spoke out against the United hierarchy following an earlier loss at Atletico Madrid.

Neville said the dressing room atmosphere will be 'horrific' following Fernandes' public outburst and suggested the players' problems run far deeper than Carrick's management. He indicated that if the captain has turned on the manager publicly, the situation behind closed doors would be worse. Carrick is widely expected to lose his job imminently.
