"It was worse than a funeral.": Gary Neville on Manchester City vs Liverpool clash

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has revealed watching Manchester City vs Liverpool clash was "worse than attending a funeral". Liverpool beat the Sky Blues 3-1 and now are 9 points ahead of the City, leading the Premier League table. Neville was present at the matchday as part of his work at Sky Sports and confirmed it was a "painful experience". He said: "It's as painful as it gets. I have worn all black today with a black-tie as well. It was a funeral match today, it was worse than a funeral. This is my funeral and you witnessing it as we speak. I'm a Manchester United fan and for 20 years to get the title back and keep it away from Liverpool. This is one club that can compete with Manchester United in terms of globe fanbase, scale, tradition, history, and success. If they get a Premier League title under their belt they become a real power. It is painful as a United fan and we are where we are at this moment of time. It's painful to watch as there is a lot of this team I see in the qualities of the Manchester United's teams I was part of. Winning games late on, never say die, looking desperate every single time to win the ball back, they do everything they want your football team to do and it's awful as a Manchester United to watch it. But you have to respect it."
