Paul Pogba was criticised for his performance
Neville accused Pogba of regressing to the form he showed under Jose Mourinho.
At the start of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s caretaker reign, the 26-year-old scored eight goals in nine games.

That form appears to have taken a dip and he has only scored twice in the last 10 games for Manchester United.
“Pogba’s now playing how he was pre-Ole’s arrival,†Neville told beIN Sports.
“I thought he was really poor, rolling his foot over the ball all the time, playing for himself, not popping it off and moving, didn’t look interested at times.
“But he’s a great player, and can be a great player, he just needs to get that focus back.â€

Neville added: “I don’t know where it came from. I know people have said De Gea has made some mistakes in the last 12 months – but not many like that for Manchester United. I can’t think of any like that for Manchester United.
“I think it’s important when you make a mistake of that nature in your home country, he’s now an experienced player. I hope he’s the one who comes out and explains it. I think that would bode well for him.â€
