Manchester United's experience of failure and expert reactions

United's attacking newcomers, worth £200 million, including Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Sesko, failed to show stability in the away match.

Manager Ruben Amorim openly expressed disappointment with yet another poor performance from his players.

Since his appointment 300 days ago, the Portuguese has only won 17 out of 45 matches.

This season, Amorim has yet to celebrate a victory, losing his first game to Arsenal and drawing against Fulham on Sunday.

Reaction to Neville's predictions

Despite the poor start to the season, Neville, a United legend and Sky Sports pundit, hopes for a chance of 'surprise' from the team this season.

“When I watched United yesterday, I thought the game was quite good,” he said.

“I’m sure they will find a goalkeeper. When that happens, with such attackers and a defensive line, in the free weeks without the Europa League, United will surprise everyone.”

Moreover, Carragher did not shy away from his opportunity to joke on social media, ridiculing Neville's words. These comments elicited a furious reaction from fans.

One wrote: “We’re not surprised at all.”

Another added: “Surprised? Not in a good way.”

Someone noted: “Surprise Grimsby.”

And another commentator remarked: “I can never take him seriously when it comes to United.”

Currently, Manchester United finds itself in a difficult position, unable to win any matches at the start of the season. This raises concerns among both fans and experts. The team's failures could impact its future performances in other competitions as well as the coach's standing and player roster in the near future. Given Neville's predictions, the question remains whether the team can eventually find form in upcoming matches.
