Gary Neville slams Erik ten Hag’s tactics vs Wolves with Man Utd legend ‘driven crazy’ by positional switch
GARY NEVILLE slammed Erik ten Hag’s tactics against Wolves after being “driven crazy” by Manchester United’s positional switch.
United went into half time against Wolves on their opening game of the season drawing 0-0.
But Neville was far from impressed with Luke Shaw drifting into the left side of midfield opposed to helping out on the wing.
The Old Trafford legend said on Sky Sports: “It’s driven me crazy a bit.”
And he went on to add: “Last season when Manchester United needed a goal at home, Luke Shaw was one of the best I think probably attacking players for United.
“Combining with [Alejandro] Garnacho, combining with Rashford last year.
“It’s simple at Old Trafford; the pitch is wide, you stretch teams.”
Neville added: “If you’re not a full-back comfortable going in there, don’t create inverted full-backs.
“My view is, put someone in there that’s comfortable going in there.
“Luke Shaw’s one of the best attackers going forward combing with that left-winger.”

Neville & Co would have watched on with relief as Raphael Varane’s second-half winner was enough to separate the sides.
But they avoided a late penalty after new keeper Andre Onana took out Sasa Kalajdzic.
Although VAR refused to intervene, leaving rival fans stunned.
