(Reuters) - Former Manchester United full-backs Gary and Phil Neville have slammed the club's "garbage" defending after Sunday's crushing 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Premier League.

They also ripped into United's high-priced midfield, which included 89 million pounds ($108.89 million) signing Paul Pogba, after N'Golo Kante was able to waltz through them for Chelsea's fourth goal.
