Gary Neville, on his podcast, heavily criticised Manchester United after their 1-1 draw with West Ham, calling the side’s mentality “softness”. He said the team lacked physicality and intensity, repeatedly inviting pressure and failing to impose themselves against an organised opponent. Neville pointed to defensive frailties and a midfield that did not bite when needed, insisting the players must show more aggression and urgency. He urged United’s coaching staff and leadership to address the mentality issues quickly if they are to compete consistently at the top level.
