US EditionGary Neville: Man United Showing in Everton Loss 'Smelt of Complacency'
Gary Neville said Manchester United’s fourth league loss showed complacency and damaged trust in manager Ruben Amorim despite the team having a numerical advantage early on.
- On Nov 25, 2025, Gary Neville heavily criticised Manchester United after their 1-0 home defeat to Everton at Old Trafford, calling the display an embarrassment and saying it was `not acceptable` on Sky Sports.
- Having gone five without defeat, players appeared affected by top-four thinking, with Neville saying they `imagined in their heads they're going to be in the Champions League places` and rejecting injuries to Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha as excuses.
- After Gueye's red card, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall struck shortly before half-time and Jordan Pickford's saves, including a stopped Zirkzee header, preserved Everton's 1-0 lead.
- The loss left Manchester United with their fourth defeat of the Premier League season, stalling a top four opportunity as fans booed collectively at full-time.
- Neville warned the display damages confidence and trust in Ruben Amorim, Manchester United manager, saying the result `erodes confidence, it erodes trust` and referenced the Brentford away dip, adding `You can lose football matches, but you can't lose them like that`.
