There will be questions asked of Ten Hag if Manchester United fail to turn their form around quickly, especially with a tough match against Chelsea coming up. The pressure is mounting on the manager and the team to start getting results and climbing up the table. Only time will tell if they can bounce back from this rough patch.
Just make a decision! Make a decision! And then he gives the penalty. It’s a real soft one. It’s not a clear and obvious mistake, I don’t think. It’s one that you can look at and think, ‘Yeah, I can see why he’s given it,’ but I don’t think it’s a clear and obvious mistake.
Neville also discussed the performance of Manchester United, stating: They were poor today. I think that’s the thing that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be most disappointed with. They were poor. They didn’t play well at all. They didn’t create enough chances. They didn’t defend well enough. They weren’t good in possession. It was a really poor performance from Manchester United.
Despite the controversial penalty decision, Neville believes that Manchester United’s performance was ultimately to blame for their defeat to West Ham. He stated: I don’t think you can blame the referee. I think you have to look at the performance of Manchester United today. They were just not good enough.
