Gary Neville bullishly states it is inevitable Manchester United will win the league again | OneFootball

Former Manchester United player and Sky Sports pundit, Gary Neville, believes that it is inevitable that his former side will win league titles again.

The Red Devils are on course for their worst ever Premier League finish of eighth position, with three tough-looking fixtures still left to play, starting this weekend against league leaders Arsenal.

United still need five points from their remaining matches to beat their worst ever points total set in the 2021/2022 season of 58 points and were they to concede just three more goals, this would officially be the leakiest United team in Premier League history.

The Red Devils also sit a massive 29 points off the top of the Premier League and 13 points off a Champions League spot.

Therefore, it is a little surprising that Gary Neville has claimed to PA news agency (via The Independent) that “as sure as the sun will rise, Manchester United will start to win again, it’s a fact.”

“When that is, I don’t know. It can be no guarantee, but I know that these things go in cycles.”

Neville, who grew up a United fan, claimed that he can draw on his experience as a fan in the 1980s.

The Red Devils famously went from 1967 until 1993 without winning a league title until a certain Sir Alex Ferguson changed the course of history in English football.

Speaking on his childhood experience he said, “I lived my whole childhood watching Liverpool, Everton and Arsenal win trophies, win the old Division One, and was patient.”

“I had to wait until I was 18, 19 when Manchester United first won a league title in my life – and then we won a load of league titles, and now we’ve not won one for 10 years.”

The former captain justified his response by claiming that it is inevitable that large clubs like United will eventually get it right, and this was the reason behind his bullish remarks.

“I know full well that in my lifetime – hopefully – Manchester United will win trophies, but they will win trophies again. We will get it right, just as Liverpool will, just as Arsenal will.”

“You can’t keep these great clubs down. I’m sorry, they’re too big, they’re too established, they’ve got a great history, they go through lean periods.”

Obviously all fans of the Mancunian club hope Neville is correct but in the ultra-competitive league where Aston Villa will likely play Champions League football next season and United stand a very good chance of having no European involvement, there are many obstacles to the Red Devils returning to the top of the tree.

New financial regulations like PSR and the newly voted in anchoring spending cap, means that it will be harder for United and other traditionally big clubs to solve their problems by throwing money at them.

Moreover, the league is full of great players and managers and United will certainly not always be their destination of choice, especially if the side continues to flounder as it has done.

However, it is not all bad news. The name Manchester United will always resonate proudly in the world of football and with new owners INEOS showing ruthless ambition to elevate the club’s current standings, fans can be more positive than previous years, as they at least try to make the team great again, which had not seemed a priority for the Glazers.
