The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 man believes that the Red Devils will not concede their crown so easily and will be challenging for the Premier League until the very end.
Sir Alex Ferguson’s men failed to get the better of Manchester City last night after a lackluster display, that saw them surrender top spot in the Premier League as well.
The much-hyped Manchester derby failed to live up to its billing and instead of ninety minutes of attacking football, the Etihad Stadium witnessed a cagey game, with City piling the pressure on their arch-rivals.
United held on well but were undone by a corner, in which http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463.
The goal proved to be the difference on the night, as the reigning champions were subdued and failed to create any decent chance of note. The result has placed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294 Mancini’s men in ascendency for the title, which they seemingly relinquished a couple
of days ago.
If City win their next two games, they will be crowned the new winners of the Premier League but according to former Red http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson and his troops will not give up so easy and will continue fighting until the very last second.
"Sir Alex Ferguson has rightly said that the title has slipped away. But you can only keep going. That's all you can do in football,” he said.
"All the pressure's now on City. They play first up at Newcastle so United will know exactly what they need to do [by the time they kick off against Swansea at Old Trafford], or even if they've got a chance,” Neville said.
"I'm sure he'll improve his squad. I think he has to. He's an honest person and he'll recognize there are areas of the squad he needs to strengthen,” the ex-fullback was quoted as saying.
The Citizens next play a tricky fixture against Newcastle, while United host Swansea. Both teams will not want to drop points, as City could drop their lead, while Fergie’s men would all but confirm the title’s departure from Old Trafford.
