United have nonetheless not back-to-back Premier League video games below the pinnacle coach.
“I’m very worried,” he mentioned on The Gary Neville Podcast.
“The efficiency that we noticed and the outcome at Brentford signifies that you are feeling the Chelsea sport was skewed by the sending off. You begin to have a look at the Chelsea win much less positively. That is simply soccer.
“I believe there are loads of United followers popping out of that floor final Saturday, together with me, considering Brentford away, Sunderland at dwelling subsequent week has an actual alternative to get 9 factors on the board, on the bounce, and then you definitely’ll be effectively up within the high six or eight.
“However the Brentford sport was a very poor efficiency and an actual fear.
“I felt for the first time, just through instinct, watching it on the television, seeing players’ faces and body language, that there might be an element of players really doubting the system and what’s going on.
“There was one thing that occurred in that sport that I discussed on my podcast two or three weeks in the past that I mentioned we could not see once more. I mentioned that Mason Mount ended up at left wing-back.
“There’s sticking to your plan and then there’s your coach that’s got an idea and making sure that he delivers that idea and not flip flopping with his idea with players, which can sometimes undermine what you’re trying to achieve.
“But then when you’re putting Mason Mount at left wing-back – and he’s ended up at left wing-back again at Brentford in the last five minutes to the game – it starts to look awful.”

“The results are catastrophic, really, in Manchester United terms. The money that’s been spent has been big and there are some things that I’m seeing that are a massive worry, and some things that can’t happen.
“So I’m very involved, I actually am, as a result of the supervisor’s clearly a very good coach. He is had an awesome document in Portugal however it’s not clicking in any respect.
“You’ve got to see what happens next Saturday against Sunderland – if that game goes against Manchester United, you’re going to start seeing very big questions being asked of the ownership, big questions.
“They introduced a younger supervisor in. He is performed a totally completely different system. They’ve invested in a totally completely different system. In the event that they had been to be 14th, fifteenth or sixteenth in October, it is not a one-off. It turns into what you might be.
“It becomes a pattern and the manager comes under huge pressure. We’ve seen what’s happened with Graham Potter in the last few days. That’s why I’m worried because this is not going to go away and it’s going to build in this next week or so.
“A victory is required greater than ever at Outdated Trafford on Saturday towards Sunderland.”
