Gary Neville: 'Manchester United have not got mentality to be champions'

Ex-Manchester United defender Gary Neville does not believe that his former club have the right "mentality" to sustain a Premier League title charge.

Manchester United legend Gary Neville has said that he does not believe the current crop at Old Trafford have the right mentality to be champions.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are very much in the race for Premier League glory as they sit second in the table, although they are three points behind leaders and bitter rivals Manchester City having played a game more.

United were criticised for the manner of their performance in Saturday's goalless draw at Arsenal, and Neville has now suggested that the Red Devils' mentality will hold them back in their title bid.

Speaking on the Gary Neville Podcast, the 45-year-old said: "I think it's a disappointment over the three games - Liverpool, Sheffield United and Arsenal - the fact that there's two points out of those three matches.

"The Liverpool and Arsenal games they were there for the taking and I had this debate, I saw Roy (Keane) and Jamie (Redknapp)'s piece last night, why didn't you show more belief?

"They haven't got it yet. They haven't got the mentality of a champion team. It's difficult to have that from being eight weeks ago thinking the manager's in trouble after the defeat to RB Leipzig and going out of the Champions League, to all of a sudden eight weeks later transferring that mindset to 'we're a champion team'.

"They're not like Liverpool. They haven't won the title with all those players. They're not like Manchester City, they haven't got titles in the bank. They haven't got that experience to be able to draw upon."

United next welcome Southampton to Old Trafford for Tuesday's Premier League encounter.
