Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has admitted the decision to remove Joshua Zirkzee in the first half was a difficult one.
"The two central midfielders can't run. The back three have no legs. They have been absolutely awful."
Neville did, however, offer some praise for a few Manchester United players.
"There are only three of them who can say they have been alright under Amorim: Dalot, (Noussair) Mazraoui, and Amad," he said.
The return of Manuel Uguarte from suspension should ease Amorim's midfield concerns as they head to Anfield for Sunday's big game.
