Gary Neville believes Manchester United needs to offload eight to ten players if they are to turn an unwanted spell around. The Red Devils’ form this season has been nothing to write home about, as they look set for their worst-ever finish in a Premier League campaign.

Despite being behind his former team on the league table, Neville believes that only Bruno Fernandes would get into Tottenham’s starting eleven. He said:
Whoever wins the Europa League between United and Spurs will get the opportunity to play Champions League football next season.

His interest in the beautiful game deepened after Nigeria were knocked out of the 2010 FIFA World Cup; he was impressed with the Super Eagles’ fighting spirit in their 2-2 Group B draw against South Korea. Some other World Cup matches which have left a deep impact on him were Belgium’s incredible comeback against Japan in the round of 16 of the 2018 version and the 2022 final.
