Gary Neville Names Manchester United’s Defence the Worst in the Premier League

Former England defender Gary Neville has described Manchester United’s defence as the worst in the Premier League following the club’s poor run of results.

Neville made the assessment during a recent episode of Stick to Football, where he criticised the quality of United’s defensive options.

The Red Devils head into the November international break in 18th position after 10 Premier League matches.

United have managed just one victory, scoring 14 goals and conceding 19 during that period.

Assessing the club’s defensive lineup, Neville named Patrick Dorgu, Noussair Mazraoui, Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven as the players who could make up the back four.

He said: “Dorgu left back, Mazraoui right back, Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven as centre backs.

“That is probably the worst back four in the Premier League.”

Meanwhile, the report claims Manchester United are on the brink of sacking manager Michael Carrick, with Mauricio Pochettino reportedly lined up as his potential replacement.
