Gary Neville criticises "toothless" Manchester United at Everton

Manchester United were "toothless" at Everton, according to former player Gary Neville.

Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville has hit out at the Red Devils' performance against Everton, calling it "toothless".

Goals from James McCarthy, John Stones and Kevin Mirallas gave the Toffees a convincing 3-0 win, and Neville belives that United's recent high standards have slipped.

He told Sky Sports News: "United were toothless, and that is being kind. I didn't really see them try and dribble past a player, make any forward runs. At times they were not getting enough men in the box and the final pass was poor.

"It is the worst I have seen United play for five or six weeks. They have been playing so well. Even in defeat at Stamford Bridge last week they played really well. Today it wasn't there. It was Everton who had the cutting edge. It was through [Aaron] Lennon, [Romelu] Lukaku and Mirallas when he came on who looked the ones most dangerous to break through either defence.

"For a long time United have had a good record at Everton but certainly not in the last three seasons. Last season was such a poor performance. I don't think United were that bad today, despite it being a worse result."

The Red Devils have lost three games in a row at Goodison Park without scoring.
