Gary Neville has blasted Manchester United's 1-0 defeat to Everton, describing their performance as "an embarrassment at times" and saying it will erode trust in Ruben Amorim's team. The former Man Utd full-back was critical of Amorim when he brought on Diogo Dalot for the struggling Patrick Dorgu and slammed Luke Shaw's effort.
Gary Neville said United were nowhere near good enough against 10-man Everton, who dominated them with their fight and spirit. He also questioned Amorim's in-game decisions, saying bringing Dalot on over Shaw was baffling and that Shaw should have been running forward every single time.
Neville believes the defeat will raise serious questions about Amorim's role as manager, particularly his failure to adapt his approach after Everton had a player sent off. The pundit said United were lucky not to lose by more than one goal and that their performance was "one of those moments where I think a lot of people will really question the manager on the back of that defeat."
The former Man Utd defender also called out Shaw for his ambling effort, saying he should have been running forward every single time. Neville believes United need to get rid of that mentality and start playing with urgency and intensity.
For Amorim, Neville said it was a bad night and that the manager will take a lot of blame for the defeat. The pundit also questioned why United still didn't win the first or second ball, despite having five at the back.

, what's going on with Manchester United?! 
They get absolutely thrashed by Everton and Gary Neville is like "where's the fire?" 
I mean, 10-man team can't be expected to hold their own for that long, but come on, can't you just try to win? 
Those in-game decisions from Amorim are just mind-boggling... bringing Dalot on over Shaw was like throwing a puzzle together with the wrong pieces. And what's with Shaw not even making an effort to get forward? 
Like, come on, Luke! You're better than that. 
The Red Devils need to shake off this mentality and start playing some real football 
. I mean, it's one game and you can't just write off a manager like that. The lad's got to be given some time to figure things out 
. And yeah, Diogo Dalot coming on over Shaw was a weird sub decision, but that's not entirely on Amorim - Luke Shaw's performance was pretty poor too 
just watched this game and i gotta say, its not a pretty sight for man u... they got dominated by everton with 10 men, that's just embarrassing 
... United needs to get their act together and start playing for the win, not just surviving 
they can't just keep relying on defending and expecting to win. it's time for them to be more proactive and aggressive in their approach, like running forward with the ball instead of just ambling around 
and gary neville is totally right about ruben amorim's in-game decisions, that was a weird move bringing dalot on over shaw 
he's gotta shake things up big time if united want to get out of this mess. bringing diogo dalot on over shaw was a total head-scratcher, and that attitude from shaw is just not gonna cut it anymore 
they need to start winning some battles and taking risks in attack, not just playing for the draw all the time. and btw, 10 men should be easy pickings for united but nope, they managed to lose 
Like seriously, what's going on with Manchester United right now? Gary Neville is absolutely right, their performance was an embarrassment and it's only gonna erode trust in Ruben Amorim even further... 10-man Everton still managed to give them a run for their money 
. And can we talk about how United didn't even win the first or second ball with all those defenders? Like, five at the back? It's a joke 
. I'm starting to think they need a complete overhaul of their team and tactics...
, but at the same time, you can't blame them for not winning when they're getting dominated like that, 10-man or not, it's still a defeat 
️
, but until then, i'll be sitting here watching them struggle 
I feel so bad for Gary Neville... he's just being super honest about Manchester United's performance 
. It's like, you can tell he's coming from a place of love and concern for the team 
. The way he was tearing it up on live TV, calling out some tough decisions by Ruben Amorim... it's not easy to do that kind of thing 
. But at the same time, I get why he's saying those things - United had a pretty rough night out 
.
... bringin diogo dalot on over shaw was a huge mistake, and it's not like everton had a 10-man team, they were still fightin' hard 
. united need to start showin' some urgency, intensity... be like everton on the pitch
