Gary Neville claims Man Utd players lack professionalism after Bournemouth loss
Gary Neville has accused Manchester United players of displaying unprofessional behaviour off the pitch following their 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth. The former defender stated on his podcast that he knows some first-team members do not maintain professional lifestyles, specifically noting issues with sleep and diet. He argued that the club's recent struggles extend beyond the management, with the squad failing to live and breathe the football club as professionals should. Manager Michael Carrick is facing intense pressure, with the club hierarchy reportedly holding talks to make a final decision on his future. Fans at Old Trafford also voiced their frustration, chanting against the ownership and booing the players at full-time. Neville suggested that the club hierarchy must address these cultural issues to reset the team's trajectory. The comments highlight a growing divide between the club's legacy figures and the current squad's perceived commitment levels.
