Former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville believes there is a massive gap in quality between the Red Devils and Manchester City.
The TV pundit says he thinks the United players gave their all against their city rivals last night but it wasn’t enough to prevent a 2-0 home defeat:
“What we saw there between Manchester United and Manchester City was the gulf in class between the two teams. I think that’s everything United have got.”
Fans are in agreement with Neville’s comments and want the club to make significant changes to the personnel this summer:

Think you need to wake up. We were ‘up for it’ like a lower league club is when it’s an FA cup tie. The gap in quality is unreal. Fred wouldn’t be employed to clean City players boots and he starts in our midfield.

They are not going to stop.
And we will only change one manager after other and rebuild the squad every season.— Sam Som (@sammysamsom98) 24 April 2019
United defence cost £97.7m going back to 10/11 smalling and 11/12 young. That’s 5 players. Laporte and Walker cost £97m. Everyone knows the gulf is in spending in the team and selling players quickly when it’s not working out

The loss to City was the club’s seventh defeat in nine matches, leaving the club’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League this season in doubt.
They are still just three points behind Chelsea in fourth but Arsenal’s defeat against Wolves last night had given them the chance to leapfrog the Gunners into fifth with a win in the derby.
The defeat at Old Trafford means Champions League qualification is now out of their hands, with the Manchester club now facing another top-four contender Chelsea on Sunday.
