Ole is his friend so of course Neville covers for him. That’s the most unprofessional thing Neville does.
Now that his buddy is gone, he will tell the truth about United.

Oh I know, that's why it's all laughable. Even the other pundits were calling him out on it at the time.
Keane, Scholes and Hargreaves were just the same. So was Ferdinand until it just got too ridiculous.
It remains to be seen, in my entire lifetime Utd are a club who have always relied on buying ready made stars so if they completely change direction and start buying youth for a project then it would be a surprise.
Every week lately, in the media, I hear how brilliant Cristiano Ronaldo has been since he's been back. He's been good in the Champions League (let's be honest, against minnows). But since scoring 3 in his first two league matches back with United, he's scored 4 goals, two of which were penalties, in his last 12 in the league...that's 2 non-penalty goals in almost 1000 minutes. F*cking brilliant for a guy who's supposed to be world class, right?
Where's Sammy and NDombadboy to analyse that?
The reality is that a lot of the ‘stars’ are anything but - Martial wants out; Ronaldo was always short term; Pogba will be gone; Cavani is as old as the hills…they were never going to listen to Rangnick, especially as he’s allegedly only a stop-gap.
I think the plan, if there is one, is to not be too shit until the end of the season, bin off the overpaid superstars and bring in Poch / AN Other, tasked with moulding a team from what’s left which should be younger, less ego and so on.
However, this is United so I also half expect to see Scholes ushered in…

Ronaldo is still a good finisher but that pretty much all he can do now, he is now basically Robbie Fowler, issue is with Fowler you need to give him chances to score.
The young Ronaldo was strong and quick enough to make his own chances, often unplayable at times, the old Ronaldo can’t do that, nor does he press or link that well with team mates so if he is not given chances and not scoring it’s pointless having him on the pitch.
Age is a powerful thing, he may have only lost 20% of his speed and power but that is enough to be no longer elite if you are playing against 20 year olds. Only players who can carry on till near 40 doing well are players like Scholes who never had pace to begin with and relied on their brain.
I know we didn't cover ourselves in glory today, but if they had played us since Conte took over I'm confident we would have beat them pretty good.
The Spurs team that played against Liverpool would have mullered them around 4-0.
Utd haven't had someone in their squad since Keane who will likely literally kick players up the arse who clearly aren't giving their all.
Plus it doesn't matter who they get in, they are never replacing SAF, managers like him come along once in a lifetime as much as I hate to say it.
Do they need Ralf to bring a night light?
Lmao I left in the dark in many jobs and I didn't get £200,000 per week
I wonder if these players realise that not listening to Rangnick may come back to bite them in the ass.
He may only be their coach for 6 months - a year. But he is also moving to being more or less their sporting director afterwards. Are you really going to piss off the guy that will be given the power to sell you?
It's not as if football can be played under lights is it....
Checks tonight's fixtures.....
......Oh wait!
(Love to hear these kinds of lame excuses coming out of their camp though.... Suggests they're a right bunch of prima-donna tarts!)

Fergie 80 today. Always had a begrudging respect for him. Like many, I appreciated his impact in reducing the volume of trophies going to the cabbage patch kids and racists. He was a great man manager and has the intuition and EI to get the best from personalities as diverse as Cantona, Beckham, Giggs, Keane and the rest. I also like the fact he took care of and supported other managers - especially the Brits. Could have been a great England manager, although he’d never have taken it. Good old fashioned values of hard work and respect.
