Gary Neville: Manchester United Will Win Premier League Trophy Before Liverpool.
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has insisted the Red Devils will win a Premier League trophy before Liverpool do.
Liverpool, who are yet to win the accolade for the first time in 29 years were pipped to the title last season by Manchester City, but look eager to clinch the title this time around.
And Neville has stressed Manchester United will become Premier League champions before the Reds can win the honour, adding that Mohamed Salah is also on the verge of exiting the side after the season.
“I don’t sit here every day as a United fan and think my world’s ending,” said Neville on Sky Bet’s The Big Debate.
“I just see it as a cycle. I grew up for the first 18 years of my life and I didn’t see a league title at Manchester United. And the next 20 or 25 years was glorious. It was like heaven.
“But now it’s tough. I don’t sit here every day thinking, ‘Oh my god if they don’t win the league this year if they don’t do this this year, if they don’t get that player’. Where’s the panic?”
“No it doesn’t concern me. It genuinely does not concern me because it can be corrected by a little bit of money on the stadium and good decisions in the boardroom and good decisions in the recruitment department.
“What I’m saying is, Liverpool, City, Tottenham, all these clubs have had poor recruitment policies over the last 25 or 30 years at times. So United are going through one at the moment.
“Eventually they will stumble upon the right recruitment system, the right recruitment people, they’ll get a great manager – hopefully that’s Ole – and they’ll start to win again. That’s going to happen.
“I can guarantee you as clear as day, Manchester United will win again. They’ll probably win the league before Liverpool, in my opinion. And that’s not being disrespectful, they’ll probably win the league before Liverpool.”
