Neville: Complacent Man Utd performance will erode trust

Gary Neville says Manchester United's performance in the 1-0 defeat to 10-man Everton "smelt of complacency" and will "erode trust" in Ruben Amorim's team.United were booed off at full-time as Everton became the first side to win at Old Trafford in the Premier League after having a player sent off thanks to Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall's first-half strike which followed Idrissa Gueye's red card for slapping team-mate Michael Keane. Neville says United, who could have gone fourth if they won by three but remain in 10th, "were nowhere near good enough" and "an embarrassment at times" as their five-game unbeaten run came to an end.

They weren't at it from the beginning. That is a bad one for United. "I think they've been a lot better in the last few weeks. That probably takes us back to Brentford away. "You can't go from the fight that they showed in certain games to that. It just erodes confidence, it erodes trust. Also See: Got Sky? Watch now on the Sky Sports app Not got Sky?

It was loud, and rightly so. That was a really poor performance."It's almost as if you've gone sort of like two or three steps forward, everyone's feeling a little bit better about themselves, and you've just gone back to the start again."You can lose football matches, but you can't lose them like that.
