"Are you guys Manchester United Youth? Aren't you running hard?" Even the legend is flogging..."I can't see the spirit for the team."

Manchester United legend Gary Neville seems to be pitiful in his juniors' performance.

Manchester United drew 1-1 in the 10th round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) against Chelsea at 1:30 a.m. on the 4th (Korea Standard Time). Manchester United is 13th with 12 points and Chelsea is 4th with 18 points.

Manchester United took the lead in the 23rd minute of the second half as Bruno Fernandes handled the penalty won by Rasmus Hoyleun. But six minutes later, Moises Caicedo took a shot from a corner kick. Manchester United drew with a disappointing performance, even though they created many better chances than Chelsea.

After the match, Neville strongly pointed out the attitudes of Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho, according to the British Daily Mail. "The fact that the two players are from Manchester United's youth academy is recognized to some extent by fans. So there is a passion for them. The two players have been with the team for several years."

He "The first rule is that you have to run hard. I'm not saying Garnacho and Rashford don't play hard, but they can play harder. Bukayo Saka at Arsenal, Bernardu Silva at Manchester City. If you look at Phil Foden and the players who play for Liverpool, they're really doubling as they run and bully"Rashford and Garnacho lack the mindset."

Neville then said "I played alongside Andrei Kanchelskis, David Beckham and Ryan Giggs most of Manchester United. Thanks to their hard work on the ball, the reward went to the team. There is no doubt that the harder you play, the better your luck and the better your game. So I have to say to Garnacho and Rashford that there is more they can do," he added.

Finally, Neville is wondering if he has the spirit to fight for the team throughout the game. That's not to say Rashford and Garnacho didn't do well today. But I see other wingers in the league contributing a lot more than the two players."

Garnacho was born in 2004, so there is room for development, but Rashford was born in 1997. He is one of the most expensive players in Manchester United and has a number 10, but he is not doing his part at all. It's only one goal and one assist in the league this season.

Neville did not criticize Rashford harshly considering his image, but coolly, Rashford is currently the most criticized player at Manchester United. He has not been able to get out of the terrible slump that began last season.

Garnacho is better than Rashford with two goals and one assist in the league, but his greedy play is making Manchester United fans difficult. Although he is given a lot of time to play, he seems to be unable to see his growth.
