MANCHESTER UNITED legend Gary Neville says Jose Mourinho has issues within his squad that he cannot solve.
Neville was speaking 24 hours after Manchester United’s shock 1-0 home defeat to basement club West Brom.
The loss handed Manchester City the Premier League title, just eight days after United beat City at the Etihad to delay the inevitable.
Jose Mourinho blamed inconsistencies and attitude as the reason for the defeat, which Neville believes is worrying.
He says they are the types of issues of players that cannot be fixed with coaching.
“It was dismal, it was a dismal day,” Gary Neville said on Sky Sports.
“I suppose in some ways Manchester United stopped what would be this nightmare scenario last week of City winning the game at the Etihad in front of United’s fans obviously in that far end.
“But it was an appalling performance.
“Jose Mourinho mentioned the words ‘inconsistency’ and ‘attitude’.
“That’s difficult to coach out of people if that’s the problems that are occurring – inconsistency and attitude.
“So he has to identify the issues that he has in that changing room and in that squad that are causing those inconsistencies and lack of attitude in these types of matches and deal with it at the end of the season.
“I do agree with him, Manchester United didn’t lose the league yesterday, they lost it over a full season and Manchester City have been by far the best team and were always going to win it.
“But it was certainly a weak way to end.”
Neville was speaking ahead of tonight’s Premier League relegation six-pointer between West Ham and Stoke.
West Brom’s win over United gives them hope of survival.
