Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville delivered a scathing assessment of his old club, labelling their performance "an embarrassment" after a shocking 1-0 home defeat to Everton on Monday night.
A Night of Shame at Old Trafford
The match at Old Trafford on Monday, 25 November 2025, took a dramatic turn after just 13 minutes when Everton's Idrissa Gueye was shown a red card for striking his own teammate, Michael Keane. Despite playing with a numerical advantage for 77 minutes, Manchester United failed to capitalise and were stunned when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored the only goal of the game on the half-hour mark.
Neville's Furious Reaction
Speaking on his Gary Neville Podcast, the Sky Sports pundit did not hold back in his criticism. He described the manner of the defeat as "really bad" and condemned the team's apparent complacency. Neville's passionate critique highlighted the growing frustration amongst fans and pundits alike with the team's inconsistent form.
Consequences for United's Campaign
The damaging result had immediate consequences for Erik ten Hag's side. It brought their five-match unbeaten run to a crashing halt and dashed their hopes of breaking into the Premier League's top four. The full-time whistle was met with a chorus of boos from the home supporters, underscoring the deep disappointment felt around the theatre of dreams.
