However, Neville acknowledges that United are not the “finished article” and insists they must be consistent in order to have a shot at securing the title.
Neville has praised the individual quality of United’s players and believes it is players like Edinson Cavani, Bruno Fernandes and Anthony Martial who have revived the club’s form.
The Sky Sports expert says United’s win over Villa was a ‘great victory’ and believes the momentum they have developed will be beneficial in their top-of-the-table clash with Liverpool on 17 January.
He said on The Gary Neville Podcast: ‘It was a great, great victory for United.
‘I’m looking forward to it [Liverpool game]. Not because I’m thinking United can go to Anfield and win, but because United has become competitive out of nowhere.
‘I remember sitting at Old Trafford after that Manchester derby [goalless draw]He sat down with Roy Keane and Micah Richards, and said that Chelsea, Liverpool and Tottenham were way ahead of the two Manchester clubs at this point.
“If you had said at the beginning of the season, or even five weeks ago, that United would be at the level of Liverpool, I would have said that there is no possibility, that it cannot happen.
That shows how unusual this season is. Manchester United have many match winners: Edinson Cavani, Anthony Martial, Daniel James, Mason Greenwood, Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford …
“They do it in moments, and they don’t always have to be playing well when you have those players on the field.
‘The performances are improving, it is a work in progress, it is not the finished item at all. Sometimes in games they hypnotize you for 10 minutes and then they can turn into a nightmare for 10 minutes.
But there is self-confidence, something is growing, there is a spirit at the end of the game with the players celebrating that was nice to see.
I think a couple of years ago I said publicly that sometimes there was a team that I didn’t like to see in those red jerseys. I see them now, and I felt like last season they looked so much happier, and this season they seem happier again.
‘Who knows? I don’t think they’re going to win the league, I don’t think they are quite there, but I didn’t think they would be anywhere near at this stage, and they are.
“And so we look forward to that trip to Anfield with great joy, and we hope we can pinch the tiger’s tail some more!”
