Manchester United legend Gary Neville can't see his old club making a title challenge.

A Robin van Persie brace handed United a 2-1 win against Southampton on Monday night.

Speaking on Sky Sports 1's Monday Night Football, Neville said: "I don't think (they can win the league), they don't have the quality.

"They've been decimated with injuries. To say can they go and win the title? I think they're too short defensively at this moment in time. I don't think they're at that level I really don't.

"They're going to have to step it up. They look shaky on the ball. They lack counter attack, they lack speed, they didn't have anything.

"They've got away with murder tonight. United will be happy with the result but they will have to play better than that.

"I think they will get better, they're showing a bit of resilience. That's a good quality to have but they need to play better."
