Manchester United legend Gary Neville says Louis van Gaal needs to ditch his 3-5-2 system.

Fans are desperate for the Dutchman to dump his more favoured 3-5-2 formation, and former United full-back agrees with the Old Trafford faithful.

Neville told Monday Night Football: "Louis van Gaal wants them to recycle the ball and switch the play. I'm not a fan of 3-5-2 because centre-backs are the free men and they become the safe option.

"They play out the back but the tempo too slow. Far too often they are keeping possession and passing backwards.

"They've become quite predictable in past few weeks. Manchester United looked far more dangerous on Saturday when they changed the system.

"Fans want them to go 2-0 up and then keep possession rather than fight for goals near the end."
