Neville critiques Carrick's midfield partnership of Tielemans and Mainoo

Gary Neville has expressed doubts over the midfield partnership of Youri Tielemans and Kobbie Mainoo after their fifth consecutive start for Manchester United. The duo struggled during a match against Tottenham Hotspur, a team that had previously not scored this season. Neville pointed out defensive vulnerabilities and highlighted that Tielemans was replaced by Carlos Baleba in the second half, leading to a noticeable improvement in the team's performance. He suggested that the current midfield setup lacks the necessary dynamism for success in the Premier League, urging the need for changes ahead of upcoming matches against tough opponents including Atletico Madrid.
