On this week’s edition of Monday Night Football before Liverpool drew 1-1 with Crystal Palace, Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher ranked each of Manchester United’s major arrivals in the last nine years.

Manchester United are set to take on Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon and former club legend Gary Neville has warned Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men that they will have to raise their performance against their bitter rivals. The Red Devils started the season in impressive fashion but their form has dipped significantly over the last few weeks. Manchester United have lost three of their last five matches with the latest defeat coming against Leicester City on Saturday. Despite signing players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane, the Red Devils are struggling to match up to the likes of Manchester City Chelsea and Liverpool for the title race. The match against Liverpool on Sunday will be a great opportunity for Manchester United to bounce back strongly...
Gary Neville has picked his best Manchester United XI, and he has included his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo in the line-up. However, the popular Sky Sports pundit has omitted big-money summer signing Jadon Sancho who has failed to find his Midas touch since joining the Old Trafford club from Borussia Dortmund. Sancho joined United this summer in a deal worth £73 million. He was United’s first-choice target over the past couple of seasons, but so far the Englishman has struggled to find his feet at his new club. United also signed two more players – Ronaldo and Raphael Varane – this summer and both the players have made Neville’s preferred team. The Red Devils are expected to mount a strong title challenge this season, but a recent dip form has caused some concern regarding O...
Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville discussed Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold’s position last night on Monday Night Football for Sky Sports. The 22-year-old is arguably one of the best right-backs in the Premier League, if not the best. He is an amazing passer and crosser of the ball, and just registered the 35th assist of his short career this weekend against Leeds United. Trent is a highly gifted full-back whose passing ability is simply exceptional. It has led to many pundits believing that he would be better used playing in midfield. In fact, England boss Gareth Southgate has used him playing in midfield in a recent game which has further fuelled the debate. Carragher says it’s “nonsense” and “madness” to think that the young Liverpudlian would shine in midfield which requires a...
Gary Neville has showered heaps of praise on Liverpool winger Mohamed Salah. The popular football pundit has hailed the Egyptian forward as an “outstanding” player after Liverpool won 3-0 against Leeds United at Elland Road on Sunday. Salah scored the opening goal for the Reds and became the 30th player in Premier League history to have scored 100 goals. Only four players in the history of the Premier League have reached the landmark tally in fewer games – Alan Shearer (124 games), Harry Kane (141), Sergio Aguero (147) and Thierry Henry (160). The 29-year-old has been simply phenomenal for Liverpool since he joined from AS Roma in 2017, and there will be a shortage of adjectives to describe his importance to the side. He has scored 128 goals in all competitions for the Reds, averagin...
Gary Neville has suggested that something about Liverpool is not right. The popular Sky Sports pundit feels that Liverpool remain one of the strong contenders this season, but has suggested that the lack of signings could cost them the league title. The former Manchester United defender notes that something is not right about the Reds this season, although it is hard to pinpoint what is that x-factor that’s lacking. Neville has hailed Jurgen Klopp’s impact, saying the former Borussia Dortmund boss is doing an “unbelievable job” with the resources but feels that he hasn’t been backed in the transfer market. “I was at the game on Saturday, Liverpool v Chelsea, and I said after the game – sometimes you can’t put your finger on it [but] something’s not right,” said Neville to Webby &...
Gary Neville has been vocal about some of Premier League clubs’ desire to be a part of the European Super League. Twelve clubs – including the Premier League’s so-called ‘big six’ – are planning to form a breakaway competition. Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has made it very clear that he and his players do not support the club’s vision. There have been talks that he would resign, but Klopp has insisted he would try to “sort it somehow” with Fenway Sports Group. “The team has nothing to do with it,” Klopp said, as quoted by The Guardian. I don’t like it, and I don’t want it to happen.” According to reports from The Guardian, the Reds boss was only informed of FSG’s plans on Sunday. Gary Neville, the popular Sky Sports football pundit, said yesterday that Klopp’s comments about t...
Former Manchester United defender turned popular football pundit Gary Neville has showered praise on Leeds United midfielder Kalvin Phillips. Neville, while speaking on Monday Night Football for Sky Sports, has claimed that Phillips is better on the ball than both Jordan Henderson and Declan Rice. The Sky Sports pundit has suggested that Phillips will start for England at Euro 2020 this summer. The 25-year-old midfielder has been arguably the best player of Leeds over the past three years. He has been converted into a holding midfielder by Marcelo Bielsa, and it has changed his career completely. Using his dynamism, energy, passing ability, intelligence, tackling qualities, and ball recovery skills, Phillips has established himself as one of the best defensive midfielders i...
Former Liverpool defender turned popular football pundit Jamie Carragher appears to have mocked his fellow Sky Sports colleague Gary Neville on Twitter after Manchester United lost to Manchester City in the EFL Cup semi-final. City won 2-0 against the Red Devils to reach the Carabao Cup final and will now face Tottenham at Wembley as they look to win the competition for a fourth straight year. Neville posted a video on the New Years’ Day with a caption – ‘Joint Top’ after Manchester United levelled points with Liverpool at the top, separated only by goal difference. Carragher has now delivered a witty riposte after United’s defeat with a caption – “Joint semi finalists!”. Joint semi finalists! pic.twitter.com/2FI5O9PHZH — Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) January 6, 2021 There’s no doubt that Car...
Both Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have predicted that Liverpool will retain their Premier League title this season. The Reds are leading the Premier League table after 14 games, and both the Sky Sports pundits feel that Jurgen Klopp’s side would run away with the title once again. However, the race for the top four is extremely competitive this season, with at least eight teams fighting to force their way. The likes of Leicester, Everton, Southampton, Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa are all separated by fine point margins. Carragher and Neville have predicted that both the Manchester clubs – Manchester City and Manchester United – will ‘definitely’ finish within the top three. Neville feels that the fourth place is up for grabs, and there could be a strong competition betwe...
Gary Neville said on the Monday Night Football show on Sky Sports Premier League (7pm broadcast start, October 26, 2020) that Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane looks happier now. The former Manchester United defender, who now works as a pundit for Sky Sports, believes that Kane is happier at the way Spurs are playing this season. Neville said on the Monday Night Football show on Sky Sports Premier League (7pm broadcast start, October 26, 2020): “I watched Kane at points last season, and I didn’t think he looked happy at the way that the team were playing. He looks happier now. “There’s more passes, more possession, more playing to feet, more runners in behind and better players around him.” Harry Kane Stats According to WhoScored, Kane has scored five goals and provided eight assists in...
The Premier League’s decision to charge £14.95 per match over the next three weeks has been widely criticised. Former Manchester United defender and current Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville and ex-Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan are among high-profile footballing figures/media personnel who have strongly hit out at the decision. This is a really bad move by the @premierleague to charge £14.95 for single matches that have been shown free for 6 months ! — Gary Neville (@GNev2) October 9, 2020 As reported by The Guardian, half of the remaining Premier League games over the next three weeks will be shown on Sky Sports and BT Sport’s pay-per-view platforms. Each match will be priced at £14.95, and this will be on top of the subscription fees that fans are already paying to have Sky Sports and B...
