Man Utd legend Neville writes off Liverpool as title challengers

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has wrote off Liverpool's title challenge. Neville claims the Merseysiders massively over achieved last term and pulled off a 'miracle' to finish second behind champions Manchester City.

England coach Neville told the Daily Star: "I don't think Liverpool will win the league. I think it was a miracle, really, to get to the point that they did last year.

"I think they were absolutely at full pelt last year, 100 per cent, to get to the standard that they got to, they really were.

"I thought at one point with three weeks to go that they were going to win it because the momentum was with them, the performances were outstanding and they just fell away at the last.

"Success this year for Liverpool, for me, would look like a Champions League finish, getting to the knockout phase of the Champions League and doing well in a domestic cup.

"That's not being patronising, I just think that last year was really an over-achievement and I don't see them being stronger than City and Chelsea."
