Gary Neville slams Mikel Arteta for ripping up Arsenal's game plan with a 'desperate' triple change after 74 minutes in their defeat by Man United... as he says the Gunners showed 'naivety' and 'deserved to lose'

Gary Neville has criticised Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta for his tactical changes during the club's defeat to Manchester United.

United took the lead in the first-half through new-signing Antony, but the Premier League leaders fought back well and equalised through Bukayo Saka after the break.

However, Erik ten Hag's team answered back just minutes later, with Marcus Rashford putting the home side back in front on 66 minutes.
