"It's like you have a choice between two guys, you want to hit your wife": Gary Neville picks who he wants to win the title

The two biggest rivals of Manchester United are currently separated by four points at the top of the standings, with Jurgen Klopp's team leading after 23 rounds of action.

Neville, who won eight league crowns with the Red Devils during his days at the game, was asked to stick his colors to the mast with his preference for whoever will win in May.

He told Virgin Radio Chris Evans Breakfast Show: "I said a few years ago, when they were looking for the title, that it was as if you had a choice between two guys that you want to nick your wife. It's not changed, it's getting worse!

"Do you know something?" I heard for the first time in a few weeks that some fans of United wanted Liverpool to win the title, as they do not want City to win consecutive titles and start a period of domination.

"I can not bring myself to say Liverpool, I can not. It will have to be the city. "

Neville also praised Manchester United's turnaround under the regime of his former teammate Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but says their alarming form under Jose Mourinho means he will not support them for another title anytime soon.

"I think when he came in, the club could not have been lower in terms of expectations, there was a bad feeling around the club," he said.

"He registered in the frame and he continues to win, I think it's the best start for a Manchester United coach in the club's history.

"The players in the end were obviously not targeting Mourinho, they just opened and shut the tap, which does not rebadure me that they can bring Manchester United back to the title.

"The difference is incredible but I must admit that I have doubts about this group of players."
