Gary Neville Disappointed by United
The United Legend Gary Neville
is still unsure about United’s future. According to him even after spending
tons of money on buying young talent still United lack two more match-winning
players. He says that still Van Gaal needs to buy two more big names to bring
back the glory to Manchester United.
United
is no more a giant of Europe after the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson from the
club. They finished 4rth last year and seventh a year before under the management
of David Moyes. And this year they are still on the 3rd place behind
joint leaders Manchester City and Leicester City.
He said: "If you put two
more players into Manchester United's team, say a Gareth Bale or a Cristiano
Ronaldo into that team, that team could win the league. Because the structure
that is being built at this moment in time is solid.
"But
they need that match-winner, that Neymar, that Luis Suarez, the one that is
going to light up a game and score one or two goals to take it away, then all
of a sudden they would look like a Barcelona, because they're dominating
possession, making teams look foolish.
"Even
in the last 15 minutes, they didn't fully commit to winning the game.
Historically, you would like to see punch after punch, you would want to see
bodies being thrown forward, but you might get caught on the counter attack and
lose 2-1 that way.
"But that's not the way in
which this Manchester United team play, and the heart wants them to go forward,
commit players and be reckless in some ways.
"I
do think they are quite close when I think about it with my head, but my heart
thinks I'd like to see them die trying a little bit more and go for it.
"But he's a year-and-a-half
in, Louis van Gaal, and he should get a lot more time to do what he wants to
do. I was in the same opinion when David Moyes was at Manchester United, and
I'm in the same opinion now."
The
draw means they still have the best defensive record in the division, but
Neville is torn between wanting more brave attacking play from his former side
and being satisfied with results so far this season.
"I'm
torn with Manchester United. The heart, the fan [in me] is listening to the
noise.
"The
head is saying: ‘There are a lot of very good things, if you can dominate every
single game, with 60, 65 per cent possession, if you can keep the clean sheets
and have the best defensive record in the league.'
"Depay has a chance with
five minutes to go, and it's very nearly the perfect away performance.
"When
you don't win, people will say it is boring, it's not expansive enough, and
that's why I'm a little torn in this moment in time.
"Where
they are at this moment in time is a fantastic achievement. Results are
important, the style of play might not be everyone's cup of tea, however I do
think they are one or two players away from being a team who could easily win
the league.
There was a time when there were names like Scholes, Ronaldo, Giggs, Ferdinand, Van Der Saar and now its only a big name called Rooney but actually now there is nothing left in him related to Soccer but he can do better in advertisements.
