Former Manchester United captain Gary Neville has slammed the club's players for their "wimpish performance" against Watford on Saturday afternoon.

The Red Devils suffered a 4-1 defeat to the Hornets at Vicarage Road, and the result led to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer losing his job as head coach of the club.

Neville, who played alongside Solskjaer at Old Trafford, has admitted that he was "not surprised" by the Norwegian's exit, with the treble-winning striker unable to 'get a performance out of the players'.

"It has been coming for the last few weeks," Neville told Sky Sports News. "The performances have been terrible. It was a wimpish performance at Watford. Their performance levels over the last few weeks have dipped and when a manager can't get a performance out of his players then, in this game, you are going to lose your job.

"The team have looked all over the place. The defending yesterday at Watford was woeful. They got mauled. Ole couldn't get a performance out of them, they looked drained. I'm not surprised today that it has ended."

"He has always had that result in the past that has pulled him out of the mire when you thought it might get a little bit too tricky for him. But this time the results have just got worse and worse. The worst thing has been the performances.

"Yesterday, some of the defending is absolutely woeful, the goalkeeper, the defenders. It is a back four or back five that have played together a number of times and Watford are not the best team in the league by a long stretch. They mauled Manchester United. Ole could not get a performance out of them in the end. The players looked drained of confidence.

"I am not surprised today that it has ended. The worst thing for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer would have been if he had become a bridge for a dark period in the club. Hopefully, it will be a bright future. They need to get the next appointment right. Maybe that will be at the end of the season."

Michael Carrick has been placed in charge of the first team while the club search for an interim manager until the end of the 2021-22 campaign. body check tags ::
