“If Pep Guardiola comes to Manchester United today, he will self all the players apart from him. He is the only good player we have signed and he is the only good player we have. I think Rúben Amorim will use him and do great things”-Gary Neville and Roy Keane rip into Man Utd stars as they name the only good signing the club made in the last 10 years.

Former Manchester United stars Gary Neville and Roy Keane have delivered harsh criticism of the club’s recent transfer dealings, naming only Bruno Fernandes as a success in the past decade.

Speaking ahead of United’s Premier League match against Chelsea, Neville commented on the challenges facing new manager Ruben Amorim. Reflecting on United’s recruitment over the past ten years, he said, “Amorim has to get the best out of the players. The players need to take responsibility, but the club has signed a lot of players who were wanted elsewhere, and yet, when they arrived at United, they’ve deteriorated. Why is that?”

Neville noted that factors such as coaching, player attitudes, or the club environment could be contributing to this decline. “Whatever it is, it has to change. If he doesn’t change that, he’ll face the same fate as others before him,” he warned.

He singled out Fernandes as an exception: “In the last 10 years, Bruno Fernandes is the only player who’s come in and exceeded expectations. I can’t think of anyone else—correct me if I’m wrong.”

Keane added his own criticism, pointing to the team’s lack of resilience and work ethic. “This group doesn’t dig in. When things get tough, they go under,” he said. Keane stressed that dedication is non-negotiable, regardless of circumstances. “I don’t care if you’re playing in front of 80,000 or 80 people—you have to run. And this team doesn’t run, which is a huge problem.”

Amorim is set to officially take over on November 11, with his debut match against Ipswich Town on November 24.
Gary Neville and Roy Keane’s comments highlight a sense of frustration with Manchester United’s transfer strategy over the past decade, especially with how incoming players have seemingly failed to live up to expectations once they arrived at Old Trafford. Neville believes Bruno Fernandes has been the only true success among recent signings, noting how the midfielder has consistently exceeded expectations compared to others.

Neville emphasized that the club’s struggles to maximize player performance may stem from issues with coaching, player mentality, or the overall club environment. His warning to incoming manager Ruben Amorim underscores the high-stakes environment: Amorim will need to reverse this trend or risk facing the same struggles as his predecessors.

Meanwhile, Roy Keane was more pointed in his criticism, describing the current squad as lacking resilience and work ethic. His remark about the team’s unwillingness to “dig in” highlights concerns about mentality, suggesting that a cultural shift is required to restore United’s competitive edge. Keane’s call for Amorim to instill a relentless work ethic reflects his view that consistency and commitment are essential for the team to progress.

With Amorim set to take charge later this month, these critiques serve as a reminder of the expectations placed on United’s new manager to not only bring tactical improvements but also foster a culture of accountability and tenacity on the pitch.
