Gary Neville tells ‘desperate’ Manchester United what to do against Liverpool

Ruben Amorim may need to bring back Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho when Manchester United take on Liverpool this weekend, reckons Gary Neville. The Red Devils suffered their ninth defeat in just 19 Premier League games this season on Monday night, losing 2-0 at home to Newcastle United.

The latest timid capitulation was their fifth defeat in six league matches and leaves Amorim’s side 14th in the table, just seven points above the relegation zone. Their form is in stark contrast to their great rivals, Liverpool, who are sitting pretty at the top of the table, eight points clear of their nearest rivals after three straight wins.

United go to Anfield on Sunday and Neville admits he is clutching at straws when looking for ideas on how his former side can compete with Arne Slot’s team. He suggests leaning on the one good result in recent weeks, a win over Manchester City, and also bringing Rashford and Garnacho back into the starting line-up as, despite Amorim’s clear issues with the pair, they will provide a threat to Liverpool.

‘I have no idea how they approach this game on Sunday,’ Neville admitted on his Sky Sports podcast. ‘Manchester United have gone there many times in the last few years and it’s been tough, very tough. ‘You’re just wondering, what can Ruben Amorim do in these next few days…obviously the only thing he can do is point towards Manchester City.
‘Obviously players will come back, maybe, and things will improve, maybe. I’m not going to harp on about Garnacho and Rashford because if they’ve not been showing the attitude in training then don’t bring them back in. But they are better than what we’re seeing out there on the pitch.
