Neville pleased with United progress under Mourinho

Manchester United may be sixth in the Premier League table and ten points off the pace but club legend Gary Neville says manager Jose Mourinho has turned their fortunes around.

United have won their last six Premier League games after a poor start to the season, with new signings Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan all proving increasingly influential.

The Red Devils have struggled since Sir Alex Ferguson’s retirement in 2013, winning just one trophy – the FA Cup last season.

But Neville believes they are showing signs of becoming a major threat once again, even if the title is out of reach this year.

“They’ve probably left themselves too much to do. Their next league game is a big one, a really big one, a home game against Liverpool.

“I think that will really determine where Manchester United are at for the rest of the season.

“I think if they can win that match, you can really see them being quite dangerous. They are on the up, they’re getting better, a lot better than they were last season.

“The team is better, they’ve got more arrogance, more personality, and in the last two games they’ve been starting to win a lot more like Manchester United used to win.”
