‘Prove me wrong’ – Gary Neville says Man Utd will finish above Liverpool this season | OneFootball

Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher have revealed their predictions for the new campaign.

Carragher has backed Manchester City to retain the title, but Neville believes Arsenal will end their dominance.

The ex-Liverpool defender picked his former team to finish third and unsurprisingly omitted Manchester United from the top four. Neville disagrees.

He told Sky Sports: “I do think Liverpool, with (Wataru) Endo, (Dominik) Szoboszlai and (Alexis) Mac Allister, that they’ve done unbelievably well to get the performance levels out of those three that they have.

“I really do question that that midfield is going to stand up throughout the season. If it does again, I take my hat off to them. Well done. Unbelievable. Prove me wrong.

“I think Manchester United have got more in midfield. I think they’ve got more depth, and they’ve got good players in there.

“Kobbie Mainoo, who’s coming into that now, alongside Casemiro, (Bruno) Fernandes is in there, Mason Mount’s in there. (Scott) McTominay is in there.”

“My view would be the impact of Jurgen Klopp leaving will take its toll.”

Man United began their new season with a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Friday.

The Red Devils were not entirely convincing but there were plenty of positives to take for the home side.

Newcomer Joshua Zirkzee made an immediate impact as he came off the bench to score the winner in the 87th minute.

Noussair Mazraoui also impressed with his performance, while Matthijs de Ligt played the final 10 minutes.

Erik ten Hag’s side are expected to improve over the coming weeks as new signings adapt to the Premier League and a few new faces also arrive at Old Trafford.
