Gary
Neville believes Manchester United will fail to win the Premier League
title but claimed the Red Devils are in better shape than they were at
the start of the season.
United defeated QPR 4-0 on Sunday as new boys Angel di Maria, Daley Blind, Marcos Rojo and Ander Herrera all impressed.
However,
former Old Trafford defender Neville believes defeating sides like
newly-promoted QPR are the games United should be winning comfortably
and thinks his old
club may become unstuck against tougher opposition.
Speaking
on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football, when asked whether Louis van
Gaal’s side can finish top of the table, Neville said: ‘I don’t think
they can no.
‘I think Chelsea and (Manchester) City are going to be the two strongest teams.’
‘I think defensively, when they come up against the big sides, I think there will be a problem defensively in dealing with them.
‘I
think they’re closer to the title than they were three weeks ago. In
repsect of maybe next season or the season after, you can see some light
at the end of the tunnel with the players that they’ve signed.’
However,
Neville wasn’t getting too excited about United’s victory, claiming
United should be beating teams of QPR’s calibre and said: ‘These are the
games you expect United to win three or four-nil, historically. They
did (by beating QPR) what they should be doing.
