Gary Neville thinks Manchester United will not win the Premier League even with Cristiano Ronaldo as they are an "odd bunch" who "don't play well enough as a team".
Ronaldo's return to Old Trafford gave hopes of winning a trophy this term. However, things don't go as easily as expected, with the Red Devils facing another defeat in the league by Aston Villa at the weekend.
"I said it even when they were winning, even when [Cristiano] Ronaldo scored, they don't play well enough as a team to win this league in my view. They don't play well enough as a team," Neville said on his
Sky Sports podcast.
"I think you have to be a unit in and out of possession, and when you only deliver in moments, those moments won't go for you in certain games."
Former United man added:
"You need patterns of play, you need a way of playing, and at this moment in time I still see a group of individuals playing in moments, with some patterns and combinations at times, but still a team where some are pretty new together – Cristiano Ronaldo, Raphael Varane, Jadon Sancho – but they've got to come together as a team and start to define a style of play. Then you start to get results when you don't play well.'
"I have called them the odd bunch, because I still look at them and think of them as a team who win games in moments.
"I look at Chelsea, Liverpool and Man City, they are teams. They put team performances in. That's not to say United never do, but Ole now has to get United into a team."
