The North West rivals have had contrasting starts to their campaigns, leaving Neville looking like a fool for his confident stance.<\/p>\n<p>Erik ten Hag recruited Mason Mount in the summer, joining Casemiro and Christian Eriksen as part of a midfield overhaul he has overseen at Old Trafford. Sofyan Amrabat completed a season-long loan on deadline day.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Liverpool&#8217;s entire budget was focused on midfield reinforcements after a flurry of departures ahead of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Jurgen Klopp splashed \u00a3145million on Dominik Szoboszlai, Alexis MacAllister, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo.<\/p>\n<p>But before Liverpool moved late for Gravenberch and Endo, Neville wasn&#8217;t too confident about the Reds&#8217; chances with just two midfield additions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you looked at Liverpool&#8217;s signings for \u00a330m, \u00a340m a few years ago, those players ended up being some of the best in the world,&#8221; Neville told The Overlap in August.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When you look at the actual players&#8230; let&#8217;s take United as an example. You&#8217;ve got Fernandes, Mount, Casemiro and Eriksen. I think Jurgen Klopp would swap his midfield now for United&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click <\/strong><strong>here<\/strong><strong> to join our Man Utd WhatsApp community to be the first to receive breaking and exclusive Red Devils news.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <strong> READ MORE <\/strong> <strong>Jadon Sancho Man Utd return &#8216;not impossible&#8217; as outcast&#8217;s mood described[REPORT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Liverpool-and-Man-Utd-have-proven-Gary-Neville-wrong-5041316.jpg?r=1698744792148\"><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think there&#8217;s an element now in the midfield where he&#8217;s having to overcoach them to outperform. Before, when they signed these players, they ended up being absolutely outstanding and world-class players.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These lads he&#8217;s got now, we know they&#8217;re good players, but it&#8217;s not the same Liverpool as they were four or five years ago. So he does need now, unfortunately, to go and get one from the top shelf.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Liverpool acted afterwards, and it&#8217;s safe to say Klopp wouldn&#8217;t accept a swap for United&#8217;s midfield in the current circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Klopp&#8217;s signings have settled in admirably, helping Liverpool sit three points off the Premier League summit after 10 games, winning seven and losing just once.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Advert-free experience without interruptions.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Rocket-fast speedy loading pages.<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Exclusive &amp; Unlimited access to all our content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> DON&#8217;T MISS <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Erik ten Hag must copy Ole Gunnar Solskjaer to prevent his latest player bust-up[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Jim Ratcliffe&#8217;s first Man Utd job is obvious as horror start calls for change[COMMENT] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd &#8216;won&#8217;t sack Ten Hag&#8217; but Ratcliffe will stamp authority with power play[NEWS] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Dominik-Szoboszlai-has-had-a-great-start-at-Liverpool-5041317.jpg?r=1698744792291\"><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, United are slumped in eighth, having lost five of their opening 10 league outings and seven of their 14 matches in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>Casemiro has been a shadow of himself from his first season in England, a damning turn of events considering his \u00a370m price tag.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ten Hag has already relegated \u00a360m Mount to a bench role, and Fernandes is struggling in his first few months as United captain.<\/p>\n<p>United&#8217;s midfield struggles have been a significant factor in their disastrous campaign as Liverpool profit from a streamlined sporting department that Sir Jim Ratcliffe will look to emulate in M16.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/sport\/football\/1829832\/Man-Utd-news-Gary-Neville-Liverpool-Jurgen-Klopp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Football Digest: Man Utd urged to give Ten Hag time he needs Gary Neville has been left with egg on his face after a bold <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportstoft.com\/soccer\/gary-neville-looks-a-fool-after-tipping-liverpool-to-sign-four-man-utd-stars\/\" title=\"Gary Neville looks a fool after tipping Liverpool to sign four Man Utd stars\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":293583,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-293584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soccer"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.1 -
