Jamie Carragher took aim at Gary Neville and Andre Onana after Manchester United\u2019s 3-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Manchester United news, exclusives and analysis<\/p>\n
Brighton ran out deserved winners at Old Trafford as goals from Danny Welbeck, Pascal Gross and Joao Pedro sealed the victory for Roberto De Zerbi\u2019s side.<\/p>\n
The defeat is United\u2019s third in their opening five Premier League games this season, leaving them with just six points from a possible 15 so far.<\/p>\n
After United\u2019s latest setback, Neville once again blamed the Glazers for the club\u2019s current situation.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ve just got back from Old Trafford and you always have to be optimistic pre-match but the most concerning thing is what we ended up watching wasn\u2019t a surprise,\u2019 Neville wrote on X.<\/p>\n
\u2018This wasn\u2019t a lack of effort or a group of players not interested. This was a team well-beaten by opponents that were well drilled and knew what they were doing. Simple as that.<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh and yes the Glazers are responsible. It\u2019s how it works. You own a business and everything good and bad sits with you!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018They inherited the best in all areas. They\u2019ve overseen 10 years of mediocrity off the pitch and on the pitch. They set the culture of greed, ill-discipline, indecision and uncertainty that runs right through the club.<\/p>\n
\u2018It would be best if they sold the club with some speed and efficiency and allowed at least the off the pitch items to be corrected properly that re-set the tone and culture.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u2018Football is volatile so results on the pitch can be erratic and cyclical but if the off the pitch stuff including the owners direction and leadership are spot on it gives you a better chance to succeed on it.\u2019<\/p>\n
Carragher then took the opportunity to mock Neville\u2019s verdict as he replied to his fellow Sky Sports pundit: \u2018All this time I thought Alex Ferguson stopped us winning the Premier League, but it was actually [former United chairman] Martin Edwards.\u2019<\/p>\n
Neville then replied, \u2018You still on here after your Onana piece?\u2019, which was a reference to Carragher\u2019s column in which the former Liverpool defender suggested that Onana attempted to endear himself to United supporters by berating Harry Maguire during a pre-season friendly.<\/p>\n
Carragher then replied to Neville: \u2018Even more so after today! Tell him to stop waving his hands at players & use them to save some shots.\u2019<\/p>\n
