Gary Neville - Pundit

Can't trust him to ever criticise anyone/anything where he has vested interest. He had United angle with the Glazers and didn't criticise them till near the end.

Ratcliffe was clever and got him involved in the new stadium/refurbishment of OT and regeneration of the surrounding areas early doors. You will not hear a squeak out of him. Him and the likes of Rio won't criticise where they have an angle. It's easy to blame the players (we see that anyways).

Why didn't he criticise INEOs for getting into the bed with Glazers. Or even the cuts they have been doing. Have no time for him!

I normally think Nev speaks sense and think he speaks like a fan most of the time, but he is so far wrong on the summer signings and it's weird he's singled out Yoro, De Ligt and Ugarte and how he's shocked how bad they've been.

Yoro has been Injured, De Ligt is our best defender and Ugarte is our best midfielder. He's lumped them all in with Zirkzee which is a strange take.

I agree with you. I also wonder about the criticism of the summer signings. Ugarte, De Ligt and Yoro have been sensible purchases. Especially De Ligt, if you ask me. While Zirkzee will probably go down in history as one of the more "unlucky" signings.

But it is clear that the summer signings have not had a big impact in a positive direction (yet). De Ligt has been good. Ugarte's performances have been up and down. Yoro has only just started playing. And Zirkzee has been a failure so far.
 
Neville 6.5/10 player 3.5/10 pundit. Whoever listens to him and takes his word as gospel are as deluded as him.

He's never logical when analysing United - his ability as a pundit is patchy if you ask me, but it's really bad when he's looking at United.
He makes a lot of huge statements for soundbites, but doesn't think critically about us at all. Carragher is far less biased and consistently makes good points

I agree
 
I never thought I’d live to see the day that Jamie Carragher is a better, more balanced, and pro-United pundit than Gary Neville… incredible really

Whether you dislike him as a pundit or not, the diminishing of his playing career needs to stop, he's one of the best full back united and England have ever had.
 
He started off well as a pundit but has gone down hill a lot in recent years. I think his issue is he's doing too many other things (running a hotel, Salford, podcast, overlap etc.). There's no way he's doing enough analysis before his punditry appearances and it shows. He's still good at live stuff and that carries him but his deeper analysis has gone to the dogs. It's fairly evident that Carragher puts in a lot more work than him.

6.5/10 overall in his Utd career is a solid score if the average is 5. Irwin was the best fb we had under Fergie and I would say he was 7.5/10 overall.
 
On a whole Neville is the best pundit in the game. Carragher for me is far too emotional, extreme and reactionary to many things - albeit at least he has strong opinions, and tries to back them up.

The best commentator / analysis was still by Andy Gray. Brilliant.

Honestly Carra was the only one saying cut ties with Rashford early on when everyone else was defending him. I think Carra does have good takes but tends to go off the rails at times. I’m a fan of both, I think people need to realize how much they love their clubs and it’s hard to put aside their bias and knee jerks like the rest of us.
