As the anticipation builds for the upcoming clash of Manchester United vs Liverpool at Old Trafford this Sunday, former Red Devils defender Gary Neville has made a bold prediction about the outcome of this crucial match.
The game between Manchester United and Liverpool is one of English football’s most significant events each season. This year, both teams have had contrasting starts to their campaigns. The Reds have shown dominance in their matches against Brentford and Ipswich, particularly in the second half of their games.
On the other hand, Erik ten Hag’s side has struggled to find its footing. They needed a late goal to secure victory against Fulham on opening night and suffered a last-minute defeat against Brighton in their second Premier League game.
Pressure mounts on Ten Hag
With these early-season struggles, questions are already being raised about ten Hag's future as manager at Old Trafford. A defeat for United could spell more pressure on him, especially if Liverpool wins by more than one goal. Despite these challenges facing Manchester United, Gary Neville has shared his perspective on what he believes will unfold this Sunday afternoon at Old Trafford.
Gary Neville, Manchester United legend, said:
'I worry about him a little bit'
Neville seems cautious with his predictions so as not to be proven wrong dramatically; however, he makes an audacious suggestion that despite their uncertain form so far this season - he doesn't foresee a scenario where United could suffer a heavy loss given Liverpool’s dominant displays thus far.
This prediction might seem surprising considering recent performances from both sides but it offers hope to all Manchester United fans who are looking forward to an exciting match-up with arch-rivals Liverpool. While there is much speculation surrounding the outcome of Sunday's big game between two giants of English football - only time will tell if Gary Neville's bold prediction holds true or not.
