According to talkSPORT, Gary Neville believes that mistakes by Dorgu, André Santos, and Yoro have exposed Manchester United's defensive problems, as the team conceded an equalizing goal in the final minutes against Everton.

Manchester United's defensive issues have raised serious concerns from outside, with Agbonlahor warning that they will be exposed in the Champions League.

Maitland-Niles scored a spectacular equalizing goal in extra time on his Everton debut on Sunday, helping the team draw 2-2.

Manchester United thought they had secured victory in the 88th minute when Sesko headed in a cross from Luke Shaw.

However, Maitland-Niles's long-range strike sailed past Ramsen and into the top corner, and both sides ultimately had to settle for a draw.

After this match, Manchester United has won only one of their three Premier League games this season, and club legend Neville also highlighted the defensive vulnerabilities of the three players who contributed to the team's setback.

Neville explained on his podcast: "Manchester United conceded two goals per game. From Manchester United's perspective, you cannot concede two goals per game; if they continue like this, they will concede 76 goals.

"Of course, they won't concede 76 goals, but I think after the transfer window, the team's defense has been repeatedly questioned. First, Manchester United needed to win today. Second, they should not have conceded another goal.

"Some people might lazily say, 'Those were two great goals.' But I think that last goal was very poor. It was poor because Jack Grealish was there, and you know there was already someone on the left...

"Dorgu somehow rushed out to press, it was an isolated press. Santos wasn't behind him to cover and stayed in position, and the ball was played right past Dorgu. That's a big mistake.

"It's a big mistake from Dorgu, but maybe Santos told him to press. I don't think so; it's more like a lack of serious communication.

"After Diogo Dalot went off, Yoro was moved to right-back. He positioned himself very narrow and deep, as did some other defenders, while Noussair Mazraoui was on the left, so Manchester United reshuffled their back line during the match.

"Yoro placed at right-back, sorry, in my opinion, this actually exposed the problem because his positioning was too narrow. If you look at that last goal, don't consider the final touch—the goalkeeper couldn't do anything about it, it was a world-class goal.

"A lot happened before the ball went into Manchester United's net. When you're playing against a team, the score is 2-1, and you're away at Everton, at Goodison Park, you need to press forward as one unit; you must make sure nobody rushes in and does something stupid.

"Dorgu rushed forward, the ball was played past him, and Everton easily advanced on the left. Santos didn't cover, and then Santos didn't shift in time.

"Yoro stood very deep and narrow, almost like a third or fourth center-back dropping in, waiting for the ball to be lifted into the box.

"They could have dealt with the ball at source, so in my opinion, that was the real mistake before the entire goal happened.

"I was shouting when it happened because you know full well that the ball will be pumped into the box next time, or the opponent will shoot, or the opponent will go all-out attacking in the final minutes.

"So you must ensure the shape is organized, and Manchester United was disorganized in the final minutes, and other teams now will feel they have a chance against them."

Neville is not alone in his concern about Manchester United's defense; Agbonlahor has also questioned the quality of this back line.

The talkSPORT analyst has even predicted that Manchester United will suffer some heavy defeats in the Champions League this season, with their opening group stage match against Qarabag FK on Thursday night.

Agbonlahor said: "I think Maguire played well. I looked at Lisandro Martínez, and I'm not convinced by him; I think he could be the weak link, especially when crosses come in.

"Luke Shaw's attacking play going forward was very good, but defensively he perhaps wasn't so good yesterday. Dalot was frequently caught out after Jack Grealish came on and eventually had to be substituted, with Yoro moving to right-back.

"Yoro wasn't cheap; he's supposed to be a starter. He should be telling himself, 'I should be starting for this team.'"

"I think they will suffer some heavy defeats in the Champions League," he added, "With that back line, combined with the overall standard of the Champions League, they will be exposed."
