Neville anxious as Liverpool come hard at Man Utd

Gary Neville admits he is worried about Manchester United's faltering Premier League form.

The Red Devils dropped to fourth on the table in the wake of the weekend's 2-1 loss to Swansea City while arch rivals Liverpool moved up to sixth thanks to a 2-0 victory at Southampton.

Such is the recent form of Brendan Rodgers' Reds that ex-United skipper Neville is anxious that his beloved Red Devils could drop behind the Anfield juggernaut come season's end.

"I still think United will get into the top four but I am more concerned than I was a few weeks ago, particularly with Liverpool as they've come into a run of form where they are keeping clean sheets, they are playing a lot better," Neville told talkSPORT.

"I wasn't as concerned three or four weeks ago as they were around eight points behind and I thought with the Europa League commitments that would be too much for them.

"Now Liverpool are within a short distance of United I am concerned."
