“Have a habit…” Gary Neville makes two bold Manchester United vs Liverpool predictions

Gary Neville has made two predictions as Manchester United line up to face Liverpool at Old Trafford during the Premier League’s third game week.

Manchester United are set to take on Liverpool at Old Trafford for their third Premier League game of the 2024/25 season.

Under Erik ten Hag, United have experienced a mixed start, with a 1-0 win over Fulham followed by a last-minute 2-1 defeat to Brighton. The team appears more organised than last season, despite the uneven results.

Liverpool, managed by the new coach Arne Slot, have begun the season strongly, with 2-0 victories over Ipswich Town and Brentford. Slot will be looking to continue this positive run and make a statement at Old Trafford.

Due to United’s mixed start, many predict that Liverpool will thump Ten Hag’s men at Old Trafford, but former United captain Gary Neville believes otherwise.

“I don’t think it will be a big defeat for United on Sunday by any stretch of the imagination. I wouldn’t say I’m confident, but they have a habit of turning up and arriving in moments under Erik ten Hag and getting a result,” Neville told Sky Sports.

“I do think they need to. I think that Brighton result last weekend… it’s not big pressure he’s under, but he is under an element of pressure after last season.”

Neville then suggested that his regular colleague and former Liverpool centre-back, Jamie Carragher, was a little more nervous about the tie than he was letting on.

“I think he’s a little bit more worried than he’s letting on about the game,” Neville added in jest.

The ex-Liverpool man snapped back, saying: “I think Liverpool will win. What I’m saying is I don’t think it’s the end of the world if Liverpool get a draw.”
