Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has said the club should not consider sacking Erik ten Hag as manager.

Neville was reacting to the Red Devils’ 3-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Erling Haaland scored a brace and provided the assist for Phil Foden’s goal at Old Trafford.

The result means United sit in eighth place on the table, having lost five times in 10 fixtures.

Neville said on Sky Sports: “The last few weeks, the performances have been so poor. At this moment in time, I can’t quite see a moment where they get out of it.

“Changing the manager? Absolutely no chance; that’s not the right thing.

“Each manager has reached a level, and then it drops. It’s happening to Erik ten Hag before our eyes.”
