Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Angel Gomes should not have seen action in defeat at West Ham.

While former United defender Neville is glad to see academy players making it into the first team, he says the Red Devils shouldn't be in the position where they have to rely on them to try and turn games around.

"Now Juan Mata is off and Angel Gomes is on," Neville said on Sky Sports.

"A young boy out of the academy – which is fantastic, but that is a depleted team and squad.

"There's no-one who likes academy players playing for Manchester United more than me, but the manager needs some experience out there with them.

"They haven't got any. All those young lads, they're talented but to come on in this atmosphere, when the team are struggling like this, it's difficult for them."
