“They’re not United. They’re not working for each other, like strangers.
“Shambles kit, shambles club.”

Gabby is brutal with his comments about the team’s performance on the pitch.
His comments weren’t far from the truth. United have started poorly this season, and there are big doubts about a lot of their players.
Eric ten Hag has only had two competitive games this season, but it looks like he’s in for a long season.

Not content with leaving it there, Gabby fired back on Instagram.
