Europa League final: Neville raises alarm as Man Utd prepare for critical clash
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has expressed deep concern for the Red Devils’ Europa League final prospects against Tottenham, citing the strength of Spurs' squad as a major worry.
"I genuinely believe it's been a graveyard for every player that's joined that club in the last 10 years apart from Bruno [Fernandes]," Neville asserted.
He continued, "There's not one player joined that club that's improved apart from him. The rest of them, whether you go back to [Angel] Di Maria and [Bastian] Schweinsteiger, every player that's signed has gone backwards."
