Gary Neville’s comments comparing Manchester United and Liverpool midfield options have not aged well after the Manchester derby.

On Sunday afternoon, Manchester City arrived at Old Trafford looking to inflict further damage to United’s already poor start to the 23/24 season.

During what was an utterly dominant display, a brace from Erling Haaland and a goal from Phil Foden sealed a comfortable 3-0 win.

On the back of the result, ex-Red Devil Neville’s comments about United and Liverpool’s midfield options have resurfaced. You can watch the footage below.

During pre-season, Neville claimed that Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp would swap his midfield for United.

Neville said on The Overlap: “When you look at the actual players, let's take United as an example; Fernandes, Mount, Casemiro, Eriksen. I think that Jurgen Klopp would swap his midfield now for United’s…”

Liverpool underwent a major summer midfield overhaul after losing the likes of Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Naby Keita.

The Anfield club in turn brought in the likes of Alexis Mac Allister, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo.

Despite Neville’s claims, Klopp’s new midfield has hit the ground running straight away as Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, three points behind leaders Tottenham Hotspur.

Meanwhile, the performances of Casemiro, Mason Mount and Christian Eriksen have all been picked apart due to their torrid start to the campaign.

Captain Bruno Fernandes was heavily criticised after the defeat against City, former United midfielder Roy Keane said: “Today having watched him again I would take the captaincy off him 100 per cent.

“I know it's a big decision, obviously they changed the captaincy with Maguire, but Fernandes is not captain material.”
