Man Utd legend Neville: Winning at Arsenal would put us in magnificent position

Manchester United legend Gary Neville says his former teammates must not slip up at Arsenal.

Neville insists the title is there for United to take.

He told talkSPORT: "It would put us in a magnificent position if we were to win on Sunday. Playing at Arsenal is really difficult for Man United, always has been, but the goal is massive and the glory is there, you can see it. To be six points clear with only a few games to go is a brilliant position to be in.

"Sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals makes it slightly more interesting but I've got no doubts we'll go there on Sunday and be extremely efficient. We'll pick a team with strength and power and make it difficult for Arsenal.

"You have to respect the fact they are probably the best passing team in the league. They are fantastic when they move the ball in and out of midfield, with players coming in off the wings and outnumbering you. You have to stop that first.

"If we win that game [against Arsenal] it puts us in the position where we could win the Championship at Old Trafford the following week against Chelsea, which seems too good an opportunity to miss."
