‘Man City may toy with them like Mayweather’ – Manchester United warned what Man City will do to them following Liverpool humiliation
Gary Neville has warned Manchester United that Manchester City may treat them “like Floyd Mayweather” as the dust settles on their humiliating Old Trafford defeat.
In a hotly anticipated Premier League showdown this afternoon, Liverpool swept aside their bitter rivals.
Egypt’s Mohamed Salah took center stage with a hat-trick, following goals from teammates Naby Keita and Diogo Jota, while Paul Pogba was sent off.
The situation for Manchester United and under-pressure manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer isn’t going to get any better in the coming days.
Indeed, after facing Leicester City, Atalanta, and Liverpool in the run-up to the latest international break, the Old Trafford giants will face Tottenham and City in the Premier League, followed by a rematch with Atalanta in Europe.
Neville said: “They’re nowhere near the other three teams [Chelsea, Liverpool and City] at the moment.
“City might beat United 1-0, but it might be even worse. They might toy with them like Mayweather used to do – and not let them have a punch.”
Neville added: “How do you get through it? Take a day off and re-group. When [Jose] Mourinho was here, it was a moody place, but these players now, I’m asking serious questions – they’re getting outran by every team they play. Get the basics right. There’s no excuses.
