Neville on … Cristiano Ronaldo fever in Manchester
“I went to Manchester City on Saturday morning and I haven’t seen him alive for five or 10 years.
“I was in Salford and I saw the story he wrote. I just imagined the atmosphere and I talked to a few people who were there and they said it came out of this world, and it exploded like they had never seen it. And, Salford wrote last minute which meant it was a great football day. “
Neville on … a Premier League type
“In the first half of Leeds’ game, I sat down and was amazed at the pace, the color and the form. We always look back and say that there were a lot of challenges in the 80’s and 90’s, it was real, and I stood on the steps. But what I saw in four weeks early this season, it beats well. “
Neville on … Liverpool’s competitive advantage and top Thiago
“Everybody is talking about Cristiano Ronaldo and Manchester United, Manchester City being experts and Chelsea signing Romelu Lukaku, that’s why it’s all been leaving Liverpool when people ask if the club has gone to the top or done better. what he was told to do.
“The Liverpool midfielder was either either too fast or too lazy – he could have played Jordan Henderson, James Milner and Naby Keita to join Leeds. But that was all. It reminded me of how Paul Scholes played at Anfield. Michael Carrick can do the same thing today. Today was an example of what he was told to do. When he is upset and frustrated, put your foot on the ball and play the opening game. He did this. “
Neville on … Chelsea are having a hard time stopping

Pep Guardiola, Ronaldo, but everyone knows Chelsea I’m interested. I saw them at Anfield and it was real. “It’s a fantastic Premier League.
