Every word of Gary Neville's explosive rant about the Glazers after Man United's Brentford loss
Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville produced an explosive rant about the Glazer family's ownership of the club following the Reds' 4-0 hammering at Brentford on Saturday evening.
After being beaten 2-1 by Brighton at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season last weekend, United smashed into a new low at the Gtech Community Stadium, finding themselves four goals down by half-time for the first time ever in a Premier League away fixture. David de Gea was guilty of committing two costly errors for the Bees' opening two goals, allowing Josh Dasilva and Mathias Jensen to score.
The Bees doubled their tally thanks to further goals from Ben Mee, who bundled the ball home from a corner, and Bryan Mbeumo, who finished off an excellent counter-attack. It left United rooted at the bottom of the Premier League table.
Although the players must take a long look in the mirror at themselves for another disgraceful defeat, Neville, who was commentating on the game for Sky Sports , took aim at the Glazer family for their ownership of the club in his post-match debrief. His assessment was so damning that it even turned slightly heated with fellow pundit Jamie Redknapp, as the duo argued and debated.
Here, MEN Sport brings you a full transcript of every word Neville had to say in a scathing seven-and-a-half-minute rant:
Speaking on Sky Sports, he said: "We are continually saying the same things about the same people. However, I can't believe that Ralf Rangnick said they were going to need open-heart surgery. He was the guy that was going to come in and direct this club moving forward beyond his coaching role.
"They have obviously not listened to him, or have got a complete inability to bring players into the club - and that's the problem now. Manchester United, in the past, over the last 10 years, have always answered the fans' anger through money and spending it in the transfer market. The problem is now, nobody wants to take the money - and that is the issue.
"Nobody wants to take the money. They can't spend the money and that is a big problem. As I said at half-time if you are a player watching that performance in the first half, what are you thinking about coming to this club? It is a great football club. It is a magic football club. It has been the biggest thing in my life and I could not be more proud to support the club.
"But at this moment in time, it is really, really desperate. There is no leadership, there is no voice. You can't blame an individual player or the manager; you have got to look above and look to the very top now.
