Manchester United spent more than £200 million on signings in Erik ten Hag’s first summer. Six months later, Liverpool beat them 7–0. Gary Neville still believed the manager needed more investment.
A week earlier, United had lifted their first trophy in six years. They had knocked Barcelona out of Europe and gone 11 games unbeaten.
Then came Anfield. Six goals conceded in one half.
The uncomfortable part was how much of the rebuild was already on the pitch. Antony, Casemiro and Lisandro Martínez all started. These were players United had just spent heavily to bring in.
Neville accepted that the performance was disgraceful. He wasn’t ready to write off the manager’s work.
“He needs another couple of transfer windows.”
That was a significant ask. Months earlier, United’s football director had said recruitment was ahead of schedule and the club did not expect to repeat that summer’s spending.
The argument in the video came just seven days after Wembley. The same manager, the same expensive rebuild, a completely different conversation.
A trophy had made the investment look promising. A 7–0 defeat had Neville explaining why it still wasn’t enough.
All of us at Marvel Studios are deeply saddened by the passing of Sir Patrick Stewart. Sir Patrick brought Professor Charles Xavier to life with extraordinary grace, intelligence, and humanity, defining the character for generations of fans, from "X-Men" to "Logan" to "Avengers: Doomsday." He was a singular talent, a generous collaborator, and a true gentleman. Our hearts go out to his wife Sunny, his children, his friends, and the countless fans around the world whose lives he touched with his art.
🚨 Michael Carrick: “I spoke with the players and I have to say, the boys are hungry”.
“We're hurting because we haven't won enough football games, but there's an intensity, there's a bit of an edge, there's a disappointment, there's a hunger to do better”.
Spent the best part of the afternoon making chicken, bacon, leek and mushroom pie, and triple cooked chips and I just know my mums about to ruin it by dousing it in sweet chilli sauce 🤦🏾🤦🏾
@Grinding2024 Cubed chicken thighs, smoked panchetta, chestnut mushrooms, leek. Saute leek and garlic for 20 min, add stock to stop it burning. Add chicken, cook panchetta separate, add mushrooms once chicken done. Add stock, wholegrain mustard, sour cream to balance, season to taste. Bake pie
