Manchester United star, Gary Neville has attacked the club over their plan to sign Marko Arnautovic, stating it is a move being made out of desperation.

In their opening match of the 2022–23 campaign, Manchester was trounced at home by Brighton, giving Erik ten Hag a very bad start as the Red Devils' manager.

As Ten Hag was compelled to use Eriksen as a false nine, new recruits Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen were inserted into the Red Devils starting lineup.

Manchester United is making an unexpected bid to sign £7 million-rated 33-year-old Bologna striker Marko Arnautovic as emergency cover and competition for Anthony Martial up top.

However, United great Neville does not understand this transfer and compared it to recent transfers that brought in players like Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Abramovich, and Odion Ighalo.

Neville responded to a question regarding the unexpected transfer of the former Stoke forward by saying, "We've seen it with Falcao, Ibrahimovic, Cavani, and Ighalo - these desperate, sort of experienced signings.

Why Is Managing Manchester United Difficult

"We've observed it for eight or ten years now; it has become a pattern and keeps recurring.

We no longer become enraged or agitated when discussing it. The situation has gotten to the point that I don't even want to remark.

Another Manchester United star, Roy Keane, stated that allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to depart this season would be extremely detrimental to the team.

Keane is of the opinion that Anthony Martial cannot replace the seasoned Portuguese attacker despite his nearly flawless preseason performance under Ten Hag.
