'They would have been better off with Fellaini up front!' - Neville says Man Utd squad has gone backwards under Solskjaer

A toothless performance saw United slip to a deserved 1-0 defeat against Newcastle, and Neville believes their squad depth is simply not good enough

Gary Neville thinks Manchester United would have fared better with Marouane Fellaini up front in their dismal 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Sunday evening.

United’s increasingly familiar toothlessness on the road was exposed once again as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side laboured to a performance with few real highlights.

Harry Maguire should have scored with a header from the corner in the first half, and that was largely as good as things got for United.
