Gary Neville has accused a clutch of Manchester United’s most experienced players of not doing enough to to justify their positions in Ruben Amorim’s team.

United looked well placed to build on that momentum against Forest when they took a first half lead through Casemiro, but a dreadful start to the second half meant they were ultimately happy to secure a point thanks to Amad Diallo’s stunning equaliser.

Despite the recent encouraging signs, Neville fears familiar failings were on show at the City Ground and that a quartet of players needs to be doing more.
