Manchester United legend http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gary-Neville-c14447 believes winning record Premier League title will be special
Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville believes that winning the 2010-11 Premier League title will be special for the Red Devils, as it will take them past bitter rivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809’s record of 18 titles.
United are on course to win their 19th League title after leading the Premier League table with six points ahead of second placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786. Neville retired from professional football in February 2011 after serving the Red Devils for almost 20 years.
The former full-back has urged his teammates to enjoy the moment to their fullest and must make sure to widen the gap with their bitter rivals. When Sir Alex Ferguson took charge of the club in 1986, his main ambition was to knock Liverpool off their perch.
Since then, United have gone on to win 11 League titles and have drawn level with Liverpool on 18 titles.
Talking to the reporters Neville said, “To win 19 would be special because it would go past Liverpool's record. It would be great for the fans. It would be great in terms of the way the club has gone over the last 20 years. We were 11 championships behind
and to think now that we are level is a great achievement.”
“But we're talking about a moment. Things go in cycles and can change so it's about getting that 20th and that 21st. It's not something that defines history because it always moves,” added the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international.
Several pundits questioned the ability of the United squad to win the League but Neville insisted that his former employer’s always reach their peak towards the end of the season.
United are on course for a historic double, as they have one foot in the final of UEFA Champions League, after beating Schalke 04 2-0 in the first of the two-legged semi-finals at the Veltins-Arena.
The former England international also hailed the impact of the young striker Javier Hernandez who signed for United before the start of the season. The Mexican has played a huge role in United’s success and has formed a formidable partnership with Wayne
Rooney.
