GARY NEVILLE has revealed Manchester United's low performance levels and history of struggling managers are contributing towards Erik ten Hag's "breakdown" at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils boss, 54, stormed out of his post-match press conference following a 2-2 draw with Bournemouth on Saturday night.
It was another dismal display from Ten Hag's side as their winless run extended to four games.
They also slipped below Newcastle into seventh place in the Premier League table and are 10 points adrift of Tottenham in fifth as their hopes of Champions League qualification suffered another blow.
And Neville, who has seen his former club employ five different permanent managers since Sir Alex Ferguson's departure 11 years ago, feels Ten Hag is beginning to unravel in a similar manner to his predecessors.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the iconic Man Utd right-back said: "There's nothing more to say, we've seen it all before, it is a repeat of what we've seen over the last six, seven, eight years.
"Managers in their second seasons, third seasons sometimes at Manchester United where there seems to be that sort of breakdown at the end.
"The main thing is the performance levels. We've seen at Brentford, we've seen at Bournemouth, they're really low performance levels which is the biggest worry."
Neville then discounted injuries as a legitimate reason for Man Utd's campaign, before he added: "There's no explanation for how they're playing at this moment in time.
"I think the anger, the disappointment that has gone out of many Manchester United fans' voices.
"We're getting to that point whereby the FA Cup is a big thing - the game next week against Coventry and then obviously a final hopefully if they get through next week.
"That's a big thing because winning trophies two seasons on the bounce should never be sniffed at - you always say winning a trophy in a season is a real achievement.
"But it is a sort of bizarre experience watching United play in terms of how bad they can get to in games."
A number of names have been linked with replacing Ten Hag including England boss Gareth Southgate and ex-Brighton and Chelsea boss Graham Potter.
Ten Hag has one year left on his contract at Old Trafford.

You all need to take part of the blame for the failures of the club since SAF left because most of you explayers have been nothing but negative towards the club that gave you the opportunity to become legends in football. I have never seen explayers of any other football club antagonize the coaches and players of their former club the way you guys have been doing. Not even the invisibles of Arsenal or the legends of Liverpool.

sir Alex Ferguson need to be question about how managers keep falling in this club. I'm suspecting some kinda voodoo since he appointed David Moyes as his successor.
SAF and the Glazers are responsible for what United is suffering. Guardiola could have been the next manager of United but SAF wanted to make such he leaves the EPL as a winner then Guardiola accepted to go to Bayarn before that season was over. Instead of SAF to look for another good option, he gave it to his countryman who is only good for mid table teams... unfortunately we can't lay too much on him because of the success he brought the club. The Glazers themselves do not care about the development of the club or success in terms of trophies. What they care about is financial success and this is why they have refused to outrightly sell the club, instead chose to put Inos in front to take the hit from fans onward.

I think fans should lower there expectations! Because that is what’s hurting! And probably the likes of Neville should allow managers do their Jobs. Even the great fugie! Didn’t win all the trophies he competed for simply because players are humans sometimes they get tired, they get sick and a lot happens This is not for United period and fans should know that

Ten Hag wants to pay homage to CR7 by finishing 7th. He know he fumbled to let the goat goal.
