Gary Neville: Thanks for having me. It’s undoubtedly a worrying time for United. A club of their stature shouldn’t be flirting with the relegation battle,and sitting in 15th place is simply unacceptable.
we’ve seen glimpses of their potential, but consistency has been their Achilles’ heel. this Southampton match is a must-win. It’s a chance for them to turn their season around and build some momentum.
