Gary Neville has blamed Manchester United and Chelsea's early season difficulties on 'cultural issues and chaos' and told critics to 'look up top' for an explanation.
United slumped to a second consecutive home league defeat against Crystal Palace for the first time in two-years on Saturday while Chelsea prepare to play Fulham on Monday.
Both giants of English football have endured tortured starts to the new season with Erik ten Hag and Mauricio Pochettino coming under increasing pressure in their managerial positions.
Neville, formerly of Manchester United, has been vocal in his support of Ten Hag amid difficult circumstances at Old Trafford with the club's owners the Glazer family collaring criticism from supporters and ex-players.
