Gary Neville launched a scathing evaluation of the first months of Ruben Amorim's era at Manchester United to the most recent back upside down of the club.
The Red Devils received a 2-0 defeat by the Crystal Palace in Old Trafford on Sunday, which consigned the club to a seventh defeat in the Premier League under Amorim.
In fact, United has now lost five of its seven local league games under Amorim, in a way for the club.
The new chief coach has not had much time to sleep with his new players, given a lack of preseason training and limited tactical planning with the club in the action of the middle of the week, and the reports suggested that there had even been Fallen with Marcus Rashford.
The manager frequently suggested that he did not want the players who did not give their “maximum” after Rashford said he was ready for a new challenge after being out of Manchester's derby at the beginning of the season.
As such, in the middle of the torrid form of the club, Gary Neville has predicted that things will only go downhill for United before the end of the campaign, and in fact the current progression, or lack of it, could also hinder the plans of next season.

It was a fifth shocking defeat in seven Premier League games at home so far this campaign
'I thought I would improve when Ruben Amorim entered, he said in The Podcast Gary Neville. 'I thought that enthusiasm and the new system, I thought they would buy it from the players, and see a rebound.
'We have seen the absolute opposite. It has much worse and that is surprising.
He continued: 'But there will be much more pain towards the end of the season and will be harmful.
'Obviously they will continue with Ruben Amorim, but the more you lose, the more difficult it is to convince the players of the idea. The idea he spoke in the first days.
'You need players to buy it, but if they lose with it, and they are still criticized, the center of attention is presented more and fans are unhappy.
'You can't keep losing. It will depress the thoughts of the players, to the point that they will lose faith with the idea.
'It will damage the beginning of the next season. You have to do something. You cannot change your focus because you have died in a ditch. And rightly. I think he has lost more games at Manchester United since he has come from what he lost in the last 75 in Sporting.
A lot made of the 3-4-2-1 preferred system of the Portuguese chief coach who brought a great success in Sporting Clube de Portugal, and how they would be under rigorous evidence in the Premier League.

The results alone until now would suggest that things are not going to plan for Amorim, although it is worth noting that it has been largely unable to add addition to their side to bring the best suitable staff for their tactical plans.
However, as Neville points out, now he must try to adapt to the players he has in an attempt to get the best of them if he has the opportunity to rescue United's season.
'He won't enjoy this, but I think he has to simplify him. You may not like (Rasmus) Hojlund, you might not think that (Joshua) Zirkzee is excellent or other players might not like. You have to choose the players you have and stay with them.
'He can't move on, since they have to start playing better, but where does it come from? But I have to say that at this time it is an unfortunate situation, a very unfortunate situation when United plays.
United brought Patrick Dorgu, the agreement ended during the weekend, to reinforce Amorim ranks on the left wing.
With Tyrell Malacia and Luke Shaw fighting for a sustained physical state, the first now moves in loan to the PSV Eindhoven, the Red Devils were thin in the ranks to the left of the defense.
However, Wing Back, as Neville adds, is a specialized position that requires a skill of attack and defense, and as such, the acquisition of the Danish international of Lecce should be a great impulse for Amorim.
While things do not go to the League, United is currently 13 with only eight victories of 24 after the weekend results, Amorim can at least comfort for the performances of its team in the Europa League.

The appearance of Amad diallo as a genuine quality striker has been a real positive in United
The Red Devils were automatically classified for the 16 round after finishing in the top eight, which will buy the chief coach a invaluable time in the training field with their equipment to cross their tactical plans even more.
Similarly, United has a great opportunity to deepen the FA Cup, of which they are the headlines after the victory of ten hag over Man City in Wembley last summer.
They will take Friday in the fourth round, and trust the progression.
There are also some positive aspects within his team, with Harry Maguire apparently playing in form after a couple of difficult seasons less than ten hag, and Amad Diallo is emerging as a striker of a genuine promise.
