Gary Neville claims Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is now under pressure at Manchester United after losing the Europa League final as the club 'can't switch performances on and off like a tap'.
The Red Devils were beaten on penalties by Unai Emery's Villarreal on Wednesday night after a 1-1 draw which saw Edinson Cavani cancel out Gerard Moreno's strike in normal time.
The result means Premier League runners-up United have failed to win a trophy for the fourth consecutive season, with their last major honour coming in 2017. Neville, who has backed Solskjaer in the past, has demanded his former side spend well in the summer as a good start to next season is needed 'badly'.
The former defender tweeted: 'You can't switch performance on and off like a tap. Haven't played well for weeks and last night a continuation of the form recently.
'Pressure will be applied to Ole and the team. Rightly so. Need to get it right this summer and a good start to next season needed badly!'
Despite Neville's defiance and serious message to the club, he was unable to avoid from Jamie Carragher's jokes, with the fellow Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender tweeting a funny picture of them together for Monday Night Football.
Defeat in the final to Villarreal, which came after David de Gea saw his spot kick saved by Geronimo Rulli after all of the outfield players sensationally scored their penalty efforts, means Solskjaer is still without a trophy as United manager.
The Red Devils finished 12 points behind rivals Manchester City - who also beat them in the Carabao Cup semi-finals as well - while they were knocked out of the FA Cup quarter-finals by eventual winners Leicester.
United boss Solskjaer admits his side did not turn up for the Gdansk final on Wednesday night and has challenged his side to pick themselves up from the agonising disappointment.
He said after the final loss: 'We didn't turn up. We didn't play as well as we can do. That's football for you.
'It's sometimes decided on one kick and that's the difference between winning and losing.
'We've got to, not savour the feeling, but taste it and make sure you don't get it again.'

We had 2 managers with winning mentality and they did not do as well as Ole who you want out. This is the big problem with fans. The players were poor Rashford,Bruno ,Pogba were all bad and the manager is blamed. The one thing he did bad was not to replace Rashford but look at the bench and we can understand his predicament

Pirlo sacked beside being a legend. Man United will only Win trophy when the hire a manager with proven Winning mentality. zidane resigned while not ole. with him next ten years no trophy. enough of these being afraid of players. Henderson for now is better than De gea. rashford has lost form for a long time and his afraid to bench him. this is how Liverpool found themselves 30yrs of wilderness. Act fast united.

Clueless Ole. Not sure is he blind or stupid not using his substitution in 90mins when rashford was playing very poorly. He need to leave now. His decision have never improved at all since he started managed Man Utd. #Oleout
If substitute someone with rashford, maybe the match will be different lol. Pogba would played on the left then will be more effective than rashford lol. Not all the way till penalty

Ole is not a manager if u ask me. The guy was good as a player but very terrible in management. So devoid of tactical experience. Man Utd will not be winning silverware anytime soon

conte is available utd should move for him and sack ole the suit is bigger than him even next hear he will fail
They will never do that. That guy is their perfect puppet who will never ask questions on the wrongs going on in the club due to his lack of ambition.

Bravo Gary Neville you're the only guy who's repented. OGS needs to get out of the team if he can't improve. He won't do anything better coz he is technically low class manager.
