Manchester United legend Gary Neville blasts United's attacking trio during Sheffield game

The Sheffield United vs Manchester United Premier League Matchday 13 game turned out to be more action-packed than expected. Moments after a stunning double save from Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea, United found themselves on the backfoot when John Fleck bundled in Sheffield United's first of the night. With Manchester United heading into the second half trailing Sheffield United by a solitary goal, United still had some hope, considering that Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Daniel James were still on the pitch for the Red Devils.

Gary Neville's scathing criticism of Manchester United's attacking trio

However, when Lys Mousset doubled the Blades' lead, former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville appeared infuriated with United's front three on the night. Neville branded United's attacking trio as "an absolute joke" after Sheffield United's second of the night. Gary Neville continued his rant by saying that even though Manchester United's midfield is poor, he expected better from the front three considering their obvious quality. Neville then continued by saying that if one were to ask Chris Wilder to swap David McGoldrick and Lys Mousset for Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, the Blades boss would pass up on that offer.
