Neville was speaking on Sky Sports after Newcastle United defeated United 2-0 at Old Trafford on Monday.

Goals from Newcastle’s Alexander Isak and Joelinton helped the Toons to compound United's woes as they suffered their fifth defeat in six league games, leaving them languishing in 14th place.

What Gary Neville said

The former United defender described the situation as “worrying times for Manchester United and Ruben Amorim.”

He added, “He came in as a young manager and knew it was going to be a big job, but it is far bigger than he could have ever imagined.”

Up next for Amorim and Manchester United is a tough test as they travel to Anfield to face table topper Liverpool in the first game of the new year.

A win against Liverpool might be enough motivation for Amorim and his troops to turn things around in the Premier League.
