Man Utd captain Neville backing Fulham to reach Europa League final

Manchester United captain Gary Neville is backing Fulham to reach the Europa League final.

The Cottagers face Hamburg in the second-leg of their semifinal with the aggregate score locked at 0-0.

Neville said in the Sunday Times of Malta: "I think it is an incredible achievement by Fulham to be in the Europa League semi-finals and to draw the away leg 0-0 in Hamburg. In the last round they beat Wolfsburg, who we played in the Champions League and we know are a very good side.

"No one enjoys going to Craven Cottage to play Fulham; they have beaten us there a few times in the last few years. There is no doubt they could get to the final."

Interestingly, during his review of European club action, Neville failed to mention Liverpool's prospects against Atletico Madrid in the other semi!
