EPL: Neville slams Man United’s performance after Fulham draw

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has harshly criticized the team's performance in their recent 1-1 draw with Fulham, labeling the second half as the worst display he has witnessed from the club. United fell behind early in the match when Lisandro Martinez scored an own goal just after the 45-minute mark following a lackluster performance.

Neville, who has been a lifelong United fan, was highly critical of the team's effort, stating, "I've watched Manchester United since I was five and that's the worst 15 minutes I've ever seen. Absolutely pathetic. I've never seen such a lack of effort. What must [Michael] Carrick be thinking?" In the 89th minute, Matheus Cunha equalized with a deflected shot, but United managed to secure a point.

Cunha acknowledged Fulham's increased energy in the second half, saying, "At the beginning of the second half they put in more energy than us. We cannot accept this." However, Carrick denied fitness concerns, emphasizing the team's strong finish. United's draw came after a challenging week, including a loss to Manchester City and a two-goal deficit against Brighton.

The team currently sits at 12th in the league standings with five points from their first five games.
