  "account": "Gary Neville harshly criticized Manchester United's performance during their 1-1 draw with Fulham, calling it an \"absolute disgrace\". The match saw Matheus Cunha equalize the score in the 89th minute following a goal from Lisandro Martinez. The Red Devils had 29 shots throughout the game, but failed to capitalize in the final third. The scrutiny on manager Michael Carrick grew after a week of poor performances, with United suffering losses to Manchester City and Brighton, as well as a draw against Fulham. Neville criticized the team's lack of energy and alertness, particularly out of possession. He likened them to mannequins, stating that there was no liveliness or on-edge presence during the match. Neville also called for a rebalance in the team's structure, emphasizing that the five or six attacking players were better with the ball than without. He urged Carrick to play these players more defensively to improve the team's performance.",
