Neville: United Did Not Play For Mourinho
Gary Neville believes Manchester United players did not try under Jose Mourinho and doubts if they can challenge for the title.
Red Devils finished second last season, but started this season quite poor, leading to the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has helped revive the squad, winning all the games he has managed, taking them to within three points of the top four.
However, Neville doubts a team that has not been consistent all season can force its way into contention for the title.
The former Red Devils defender told Virgin Radio: “I think when he [Solskjaer] came in, the club couldn’t have been any lower in terms of expectation, there was a bad feeling around the club.
“He’s done an incredible job, he’s put himself in the frame and he keeps on winning. I think it’s the best start for any Manchester United manager in the history of the club. It’s unbelievable really.
“The Manchester United players at the end were obviously not trying for Mourinho as they just switched the tap on and off. The difference is incredible but I must admit I have my doubts about those group of players.
“It’s that they can just switch on and off like a tap, it doesn’t fill me with confidence that they can take Manchester United back to the title but what they are doing at least is performing to their capabilities.”
