Gary Neville tells Sky Sports he ‘doesn’t want’ to work on Man Utd games anymore
Manchester United legend Gary Neville has admitted he doesn’t want to work on matches involving his beloved Red Devils anymore. The pundit is “bored” by Erik ten Hag’s side and is “tired” by the cycle of disappointment at Old Trafford.
United suffered a 1-0 defeat at Newcastle on Saturday, ending a run of three successive wins in the Premier League. But those previous results masked under-par performances, while they are also on the cusp of exiting the Champions League.
Newcastle dominated large parts of the weekend’s encounter and United were lacklustre following their midweek trip to Galatasaray. Neville often works on Sky Sports’ coverage for United matches, either as a pundit or co-commentator.
But he has now admitted he doesn’t even want to watch the games, let alone work on them. Neville said on his podcast: “It’s well below par, it’s really disappointing.

“I feel like we’re in a cycle of the noise against the manager is starting to occur. There is the same noises that say ‘Well surely we can’t get rid of another manager, we’ve got to get rid of the players because they are the ones that got rid of the other managers’.
“And then we turn to the owners – and I’m bored. I’ve become tired of my own club.
“I don’t want to do their games anymore, I don’t want to watch their games anymore, and that is the saddest indictment that you can have of your football club, when you become bored of watching them, when you become tired of watching them. And it’s not just me, a couple of people in the last couple of weeks [have said] ‘enough’s enough’.”
United have two home games in the next five days, with Chelsea visiting on Wednesday before Bournemouth make the trip north on Saturday. Then follows a must-win Champions League tie against Bayern Munich and then a trip to Anfield to play Liverpool.

Neville concedes he will ultimately tune in on Wednesday but is concerned about what the outcome will be. He added: “The daft thing is on Wednesday night I’ll build my whole Wednesday night around watching Manchester United, because that’s life, we go and watch them again don’t we!
“But that’s how I feel today, I feel tired of watching them, and that’s a sad position to be in. I love that club and I love the excitement of football but I’m already fearing what’s going to happen at Anfield in two weeks, just purely because I think it could be a miss.
“I’m already fearing what’s going to happen Wednesday night against Chelsea because it could be a mess. There’s no confidence, they’ve lost our confidence, the whole club has lost our confidence as fans.
“And in the media now we just don’t trust them either because the reality is they fall below par time and time again. Not good enough, definitely not good enough.”
