Overview

• Manchester United lost 3-1 at Brentford, with Mason Mount brought on for Luke Shaw and used at left wing-back late in the match.
• Gary Neville labeled the Mount deployment "absolutely ridiculous" and said he is "really really worried" about the direction under Ruben Amorim.
• Neville criticized the manager for switching between back-three and back-five setups from game to game, calling the outcomes unacceptable.
• He noted that Mount also ended up at left wing-back in the recent Carabao Cup loss to Grimsby, calling the repeat a serious red flag.
• Other former United players, including Rio Ferdinand, have questioned the tactical setup as pressure grows for immediate improvement.
