Neville accused the Red Devils of “sleepwalking” their way through games as they recorded their third consecutive goalless draw in all competitions.
Manchester United have seen positive signs during this campaign and seemed to have worked their way back into fighting for major honours, but Solskjaer’s men have lost the spark in recent performances against Real Sociedad, Chelsea and Crystal Palace.
They have also won just two games in their last eight games across all competitions, a sign which is worrying according to Neville.
Neville fears Solskjaer might be repeating similar mistakes which was done by his predecessors Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho and has warned the Norwegian coach to find the antidote to United’s scoring problems sooner.
“Manchester United have got to find something from somewhere,” he told Sky Sports after the stalemate against Crystal Palace.
“There was no urgency at the end of the game. You expected United to be throwing everything at it. You expected maybe some of the young lads to come on and do something to try and win the game, take a chance, take a risk, but there was almost a fear that maybe Crystal Palace would go and counter-attack.
“It wasn't a good night for United. You can't have too many performances like that.
“I always said in the past when Louis van Gaal or Jose Mourinho were the manager, you can win, you can lose, you can draw, but you can't be boring and that was boring, watching that.
“They let games drift for large periods. That's happened in the big games where there's been that lack of urgency and belief but now it's starting to come against the teams at the bottom of the league.
“They are sleepwalking in games. They are thinking that they are okay, they will get a goal, because many times this season they have played badly in first halves of matches and then gone and won the second half. But now it's not happening for them.
“You've got to have performances. You will get results sometimes when you play badly, but eventually it will catch you out. You need performances.”
