The Athleticism of United

Kelly Cates is joined by Shay Given, Jamie Redknapp and Gary Neville as they witnessed Newcastle convincingly beat Manchester United 2-0, with the result moving the hosts above the visitors in the Premier League table. Neville reflected and said that there are worrying signs that Man Utd are not good enough in the big matches and they thoroughly deserved to lose at St. James’ Park. Redknapp feels United are still missing some key players in the midfield and attacking areas, and Neville agreed by saying that Erik Ten Hag was not backed by the board in January.

The trio also react to the news that broke earlier in the day that Brendan Rodgers left Leicester City by mutual consent. Shay Given feels Rodgers was not supported by the owners at the club in the previous two transfer windows and that contributed to the outcome. Rafa Benitez has been linked to take over at the King Power stadium, but Neville doesn’t believe that would be a good appointment for the club.

There is also reaction from both dressing rooms including a damning verdict by Manchester United defender Luke Shaw.
